2 re-sale contracts with the same UY/resort but different restrictions - how's it work?

[skier_pete]

So, here's a question I have not seen addressed.

I currently own an AKV contract purchased resale in 2014. Even though resale - it still gives me membership in the club, and I can still book at any resort I want...etc...basically before many of the current restrictions were put in place

In the past it's been said that if you buy a second contract at the same resort and the same UY, then all the points go under a single account number for DVC. Essentially you can use those points as a single pool of points.

Does anyone know - how would this be affected if I bought another resale contract now? Let's say I have 160 points at AKV, and I buy another 120 points same UY same resort. Would the system somehow know that I can only use 160 of those 280 points at Riviera? Or would it end up resulting in the two contracts NOT being pooled together at all?

Nobody knows for sure yet Pete, but my guess is the system will know because you will have unique identifiers with each contract - same number but different suffix - .0, .1, .2. etc.

Contracts are treated independently within the membership. For every addditional contract you buy, assuming they are deeded the exact same way and share the same UY, your contract number will remain the same and the additional contract (resale or direct) will be amended subsequently with a .001, .002, etc.

Each of those contracts will explicitly list the points within that contract. In this way, all points can easily maintain their home resort booking period, benefits, and restrictions. Your 160 pre 4/2016 points will continue to afford the membership with moonlight magic, discounted merch and APs qualifications. And just as you can’t use those points to book ABD/DCL, any new resale contract you buy won’t allow you to book future resorts from Riviera on.

That would be consistent with how the contracts presently work.

They know what contracts have what rights and restrictions so you would have 160 that could book at Riviera and whatever you would purchase now would not be able to be used towards that booking.

OK, thanks for the replies. So even though you could book a reservation with all the points, you can also select which of the two sets of points to use within the membership. (So If I booked at 7 months at say BLT - I could use the 120 pts from contract .1 which are no good at Riviera first.)
