I just saw on the DVC member website that only members can make ADRs when using their points to stay at WDW. I imagine this puts another strain on those renting points. No offense, because I imagine renting points costs a significant amount of money, but DVC is a club for its members. When you sign up, there is no talk of renting points. I had no idea people even rented points until I started spending time here on intercot after I bought in.

It would be a huge liability, I would think, to not let non-members use member services to do major things like make and cancel reservations or even mailing confirmation information to non-members. The contract is between Disney Vacation Development and the given member. I would think that Disney's intent to deal with non-members regarding these matters would be to create a different channel to do so (ie, a non-member can book a DVC resort villa through Disney directly).

BUT...........

Once again, I just saw on the DVC member website that only members will be able to make ADRs for a DVC resort stay using points. As a member, I think that is a bit absurd to do this.

While I was not told about renting points, I was told about giving trips as gifts and stuff before I bought in. Because of this fact, I think whoever has their name on the reservation (per the member) should be able to do these necessary vacation planning things like make ADR and book ME. After all someone is paying a significant amount of money for all this.
