As the thread denotes, I have a real membership card.Zirvan the word Member as used in that statement is being used as a definition in that statement only- for legal simplicity and so the statement makes sense. It even says that.It doesn't mean that in a general sense resale buyers are not members!
For example, my recent resale welcome letter referred to me as being a member and i log on with my member ID.
Just look at the exclusion clause DVD attach to all membership extras-
"Members who do not purchase an ownership interest directly from Disney Vacation Development Inc. will not have access to Membership Extras."
Note the first word.
I'm not approving of the distinction. Far from it. I've been a very vocal critic of it:

But to dismiss DVC's admission that they no longer consider resale buyers to be members as legal mumbo jumbo misses their clear intent.
It's not the direct buyers lounge at EPCOT; it's the member's lounge. Only members allowed.
