Spread out over a few post are these topics and I thought I would post with what I learned from MS here today ( Jan 12 ) under one new post.



I learned two things.

1st - Last August I stayed with cash night 1st night and rest on points. I was told to come to the front desk next am check out / check in. I did and did.

MS told me today that this is not the case with linked ressies ( which I thought , and still think my last ressies were for ) You check in once and thats it.

Most of you had told me this was the case , just not what I experienced.

2nd was about cash discount-
You can NEVER get this for standard view rooms , only preferred view rooms. I have std and called to see about discount. There was a discount for pref room ,but I stayed with non discount std view so we wouldn't have to move. I hadn't known about this before.

I want to add too that with linked ressies she told me that with the DDP I would have access to all my credits on the first night , even though it is cash night and then points. We bought the plan for both cash and point parts of the ressie , and wanted to know if we could do a two credit signature restaurant the first night.

SO next month I will have been here on the DIS boards a year , spending most of it learning about DVC . It seems I still have a long way to GO !! <G>
 
Just found out the same thing. Linked reservations of Cash and points are one reservation and you are not supposed to have to move.

And as you said that if you link them and get the DDP, then you have to get it for the entire stay, the points and the cash.

If you want the DDP only on the points stay, you have to get 2 seperate reservations and more than likely will have to check out and check in again.

Just make sure when you check in the reservations are linked and that your Resort ID has the check out date on it for your last day. If not ask for a supervisor and get it straight then.

Was your cash night through member services or CRO? With CRO you do have to check out/in again. If it was through member services, then someone probably made a mistake.

It was through MS with member discount. It was my fist DVC trip and didn't think to even call CRO for that trip!

I'm thinking with me being a new member and not knowing and maybe I got a new CM at check in who didn't know either.

Know now <g>
