DVC Member Cards....

[MerriH807]

Well, here is my situation... Last August while visiting the world, we took the plunge and gave a deposit and ultimately became owners. They issued us Member Cards as soon as we gave the deposit and had them ready for us at BLT where we were staying.

When we got home and all our documents arrived, there was a name spelled incorrectly. We called our guide and all the paperwork was redone and resent out to us. However when this happened we got a NEW member number---different than the one that was on our Member Cards.

In all the excitement of the paperwork, it only all came together for me about the change of numbers as I plan our trip for this upcoming weekend. I called MS and they said it will take a couple of weeks to get the cards!!! She said we could go over to SSR and get ones issued when we get there, BUT we are staying at BCV ONLY for the weekend with no car and don't want to waste time going to SSR. I asked if the cards could be delivered to BCV and we could get them at check in with our ID... Nope she said they can't do that...

I am confused b/c they had cards sent over to BLT in August when i only gave a deposit, but now I have to go get them. I didnt lose them.... THEY spelled MY name wrong.....I was thinking of writing our REAL member number on the cards with Sharpie...would that work?

Any suggestions how to solve this or the QUICKEST way to get from BCV to SSR without wasting an entire day would be helpful. Could our guide help us with this??

Thanks in advance for any help to my unusual dilemma...

PS I plan on buying an AP which is why I need the card....

Why will you need you card? It shows on your room key you are a dvc member. When you check in they will know you are staying under your dvc points. I am sure if you buy anything that gets a dvc discount, showing your card should work for you. I have not been asked to show my dvc card anytime down at the world.

have fun and don't worry....

I have no idea about how you can get the cards, but you will need the cards to get the DVC AP. We did. I did the whole transaction, but had to have hubby there just to hand over his card (I'm the associate). After that was done he went off to play with DS. So you will need them for that.

use the card you have, it should work. When we bought our AP a few years ago, I think we just showed our room key since it does say that you are staying on DVC and we dont usually carry our DVC membe cad with us.

They don't say DVC Member on them anymore. And they will require the blue member card to get the discount.

Your guide can get the cards for you and have them delivered to your resort. I would call the guide soon and request their help in fixing their error. Make sure you remind them that the error was theirs and while you are not upset about the error you would like the cards to be waiting for you when yu check into your room.
Good Luck,
