    Non-DVC resort cash stays are no longer eligible for Moonlight Magic

    What is the current situation for members who have both “qualified” and not qualified memberships? I have grandfathered resale BWV points and new resale SSR points. in the future will I only be eligible if I book using my BWV points, or will my DVC-Y status allow me to use SSR points?

    Resale contracted has been added to My account, but doesn’t show any points

    Mine closed on 12/26. Contract showed up on dashboard on 1/5. Points have not been loaded. Started a chat yesterday and was told that “points are loaded in the order received in order to be fair, but I can expedite if you want to make a reservation today.“ I said sure and gave her resort and...

    Closing Time!

    You were lucky. We had the same closing date and the same day the contract showed in my account. I got on chat, she said she could expedite it if I made a reservation. She started to ask our dates, the resort, the guests, etc. “while I ask the supervisor department if your points are available”...

    **UPDATE** Has this happened to any other resale buyers? Fidelity made it right!

    It never dawned on me that such a nightmare could happen. I'm closing on my second resale contract this week, and Cammy at dvcclosings.com has stated that the seller must provide a screenshot of their points before the closing can take place. I’m still concerned about the timeframe between...

    Disney College Program Discount?

    When my son was a CP, we looked into taking advantage of his cast member discount. Although we could definitely receive this discount, there were restrictions placed on the purchase, and we were not comfortable with them. These restrictions included the inability to ever rent the points and the...

    Tell me again why you should do resale before direct purchase...

    My advice in general is to buy the bulk of your contract on the resale market, then add on directly if you need additional points and can’t wait for resale.

    Direct purchase question...

    Getting back to TIW - keep in mind that the increased price means that a cardholder must spend $750 while the card is valid before seeing any savings. While I have found TIW to be a great perk, we may not be renewing as there are usually only 2-3 adults at our meals. It is becoming harder for us...

    Best view at BWV?

    We've stayed twice in the rooms overlooking the baggage check-in area. I was very concerned the first time; however, I was amazed and surprised that we never heard noise and clanging in the morning. I would not be concerned at all if we were in those rooms again. Having said that, being in a...

    Member Perks

    And to continue with the craziness, the person at the register should not "witness" you handing over the cash to your CM daughter. The last time I bought something with my CM son, I simply handed him some bills so he could pay. The person at the register made a cute turn-around with a whistle as...

    Uber-Going to the store..

    I hope you gave an unfavorable rating for that driver. My son drives for uber, and he himself would not hesitate to give that driver a low rating if that was his experience.

    Considering to puchase DVC

    Saving $12,000 on by purchasing resale gave me quite a bit of satisfaction - emotional and financial. But that's just me.

    Considering to puchase DVC

    You have been given some great suggestions. I would caution you, however, in dismissing some of the other resorts simply on the basis of their resort expiration dates. Statistics suggest that only a small fraction of members will likely still own their contracts when the resort expires. At this...

    Considering purchasing resale via eBay

    Using a legit broker, that timeframe would be a rarity. My timeframe - start to finish - was 7 weeks.

    First time staying a BoardWalk Villas

    Ok, then it is not a standard category as those overlook the driveway and the very front of the resort. I have had lovely garden views, especially those overlooking the canal and the Dolphin/Swan. We've also had great views of the fireworks at the studios from those rooms. We've also had the...

    First time staying a BoardWalk Villas

    I think we need further clarification in order to answer your question. If you are a DVC member, then a standard category means something different than a standard cash reservation. With DVC points, a standard view is never a garden or pool view.

    Buying Resale - Confusion on my part

    For the restrictions options mentioned above, many resale owners just take the extra step of renting their points (going rate = $11/pt) and then use that cash for those options. The added bonus is that they usually come out head financially by doing so. Many direct owners are now taking that...

    DVC resales; why are there so many?

    Based on the questions we see from new direct owners on this board and on others, it is obvious that many have been rather clueless about timeshares in general, and DVC in particular, even after they become members. It amazes me how anyone could plunk down such a huge amount of money without...

    Luggage Tags

    If they were offered to DVC members, then most likely the cost would come out of our membership fees. Then you would see me pushing "Dislike"!
