Considering a mid-size resale contract - thoughts?

[Moonspinner]

Isn’t the whole point of a gratuitous transfer that they same rules carry over to the new owner vs. a traditional resale? So in order for that not to happen in this case, Disney would need to change the rules for existing Direct Owners? “Sorry Direct Owners - the 125 pt and 25 pt direct contracts purchased together (when 150 pt was minimum) no longer count and you now need to purchase one contract of 150 pts to continue qualifying?”

Obviously I don’t see that ever happening bc it would impact SO many owners so I guess I’m stuck on the legality of such a rule only applying in a gratuitous transfer…

Yes, I agree. My understanding is you can add people to your membership and then pull your name off and then they own your membership. In this case, however, if you have multiple kids and you want them each to have their own membership with direct benefits, you would need to have multiple memberships with direct benefits to give each one. But if you want to transfer individual contracts out of your membership to individual kids and you want your kids to each have their own direct benefits, the individual original contract has to have direct benefits and then each kid will get their own membership number. If you give them a patchwork of direct contracts that do not individually carry direct benefits but only carry them together, then you would need to go the membership addition and drop route. You can still transfer the direct contracts and they count as direct, but the kid may have to add other direct contracts to get to the required amount of it has changed. We have more than one kid and only one membership with direct benefits, but our membership has several contracts within it that each individually carry direct benefits.
Again, this is my understanding from how it was explained to us!
