Sharing DVC 2 bedroom with friends... charge?

[lala]

Do you have to borrow/bank points to do this?

I don't know, I'd be pretty torn honestly. I had a friend who invited me, sans kids, to her timeshare. I thought it was super odd that she then said to me, "your share would be $500." Now I know dvc is set up a bit differently, but it still doesn't seem much different than someone inviting me to their storehouse and then saying, "Oh, you owe us X."

My guess is they'd still insist on paying for something anyway, but I think I think the max I would accept is the maintenance fees for 1/2 the points. But this is all resting on the fact that you said you'd be getting the 2 bedroom anyway. If you were going to get a 1 bedroom but decided to get a bigger one for them it seems different.

So basically, I don't know, just mulling it all over and not helping you at all.

We have previously brought our best friend (DD1's godmother). We don't ask for any money for the room. I think she covered 1 dinner for our family while we were there (and of course paid for all her tickets, meals, etc).

I'd feel weird asking for money if people were staying with us.

We never ask for money from friends when we invite them to stay with us. Our friends will usually buy us a few meals as a thank you.

Hah well you are all more generous than me. I could rent those points for good money! So... Perhaps we'll table this idea since I'm a Scrooge

I'm a Scrooge too in a lot of ways. I refuse to invite anyone at all to go with us minus our best friend. I don't want to worry about planning around other people!

If you did invite them and they stayed in the 2 bedroom with you at no charge, I'm sure they'd buy a few meals/drinks/food for the villa, etc.
