Cast member discount is NOT gone! We bought in last night and received the cast member discount. My parents are DVC members and both my mom and DH's dad are cast members. We had a choice between the referral incentives or cast member discount. We got the $8 off per point, plus 15% discount, and the developer's points. We could not get the $500 gc, which was okay with me. But since we put the down payment on our Disney visa we got 0% financing for 6 months. We'll probably pay off the disney loan and put it all on our disney cc so we can get the rewards dollars.
