But that all seems like positive changes. Why “oh boy”?
oh boy in a good way- there was a discussion about tug DVC member to member transfers not to long ago…
I am much happier
Personally I prefer to remain in control of my own reservations as opposed to renting. The same with out going transactions- I would rather hand them over to an owner that understands the program than deal with renters contracts ect…

But unlike WorldMark credits which you are allowed to rent, DVC still says there should be no renting transferred points.

My question is….I have multiple contracts at 3 different resorts. Planning a big family gathering in 2026. I guess I can do a transfer from other resorts/contracts into my multiple BLT contracts. But would not get the 11 month advantage….which is paramount to my plans if I want a 2 BR lock off standard view at BLT. I guess it’s easier to hoard my BLT points to bank and borrow. I have a few DVC friends….someone usually has a few hanging points now and then…this new thing can make it easier to gift to a friend.

DVC says no commercial renting but we all know it happen…

This does make easier for transferring between family & friends, for example my SIL saves her AKV points for a big family trip to OKW but looses her home resort priority- I own at OKW in theory we could pretty much just switch when needed.

What has me curious-
will owners with restricted resales now be able to work around it.

No. Points retrain restrictions when transferred.
So your thinking a RIV resale owner gets a transfer from a direct owner of a SSR contract then those transfered points will only be usable at RIV?
