25% DVC Discount for cash res. for family?

[Amy&Dan]

Is it possible for me (DVC member) to get the 25% discount for a cash room at OKW for a family member? I am willing to put the reservation in my name and I will be there at OKW the same time on points.

Thanks so much, I am trying to convince my inlaws to join us and that discount would help!

Yes; I have done this for my uncle and cousin for our Feb, 2009 trip. I thought I would have to put in my name, but not so...I was able to put the reservation directly in their name.

Did you book through Member Services? What if the discount isn't available for that time frame? I know they can sometimes be hard to come by the first try!

Thanks so much for your quick response.

Technically, the member is supposed to be occupying the discounted room, but if Member Services sees that the Member has a reservation for the same time frame, at the same resort, they probably "let is slide." Which to me seems like kind of a common sense thing to do for extended family staying at the same time on a family vacation.

Yes, you book through Member Services, if the discount isn't available when you initially book the room, call back from time to time and see if they can apply the discount later.

Yes, I did book through Member Services...and actually, the discount wasn't available for all our days...we're moving from VWL to BWV - so during the BW stay they are staying at Swan...

Actually didn't think of Chuck's suggestion to call back again...

CRO sometimes has special deals for OKW and SSR studios that are less than the DVC discount and have full housekeeping (DVC discount goes by DVC housekeeping schedule).
