resale and then add-on

[janischa]

anyone know the answer to the following question:
If you buy resale, you don't get all the same privileges like using points for cruises and the disney collection; but what if you bought resale and after that added-on points by buying disney direct (is that even possible ?): do the points add to the same member account, meaning you also can use the added-on points for the disney collection ?

for me the disney collection is quite important as it allows me to book relative cheap stays in disneyland paris

I would buy direct if you are planning on using your points outside of DVC. Resales after March 20 2011 are not eligible for use outside of DVC and RCI i believe.

No. They would be on the same account but different contracts. As mentioned above, ANY points purchased resale after 3/20/11 cannot be used for tradeout for the Disney Collection, etc. I have heard of no exceptions to this.

You can still use RCI with a resale, that has not changed, but please research everything before you buy, especially if you plan to use RCI frequently. We just pulled out of a reasle contract yesterday due to how complicated it is to use RCI.

but the add-ons bought directly, can they be used for the disney collection ea ? i know the resales can't, but what about the add-ons ?

As long as you have enough points in your add on (bought direct from DVC) contract for your entire stay. You cannot combine resale points with your add on points for a Disney collection stay.
