Resale members can’t use points for Disney Collection. So unless DVC makes an exception, that’s not equitable. Yes, someone is making a choice by buying points resale, but someone is also making a choice with your argument that people would lose otu points by selling that contract.
oh yeah -- I completely forgot about that. Good point.
Yes and that means that Disney is helping DVC.
Well, yes and no. Remember, this offer was designed primarily for the people that booked on cash and had their reservations cancelled. For which they received full refunds, so even if they didn't take advantage of it, they we're out a penny. With DVC, those lost points were paid for bothin purchase and dues, so they are out money. I feel bad for them, but I don;t know what can actually be done to make them whole given the restrictions of being a timeshare and operating under those rules and laws. Once they get a firm re-opening date, and they see how much it may or may not throw the DVC System out of whack, they can probably come up with a different plan.
Since dues pay expenses for each resort based on a per point basis, I doubt they can legally pick which members do or don't get the dues credit. I imagine all members will see some dues credit for maintenance. housekeeping, transportation and so forth.
My old timeshare, that I just sold the last flex week a few months ago, did that when Irma hit Marco Island. If your stay was cancelled because of hurricane repairs (and not being allowed on the island) they credited the fees you paid for that year for that week.
That makes no sense at all.
I think the best solution is to allow any points for 2019 2020 2021 that could be impacted by the covid 19 pandemic be allowed to be bankable for the eternity of our contracts but only be allowed to be used at resorts and not at dvc villas. A fair points value could be assigned at value moderate and deluxe resorts and those rooms could be available for use on a points basis by dvc members . Disney certainly has the inventory available at their resorts and this idea would allow disney to take care of their dvc family . Disney should protect their members and preserve the value of our dvc investment and not expect members to lose points at all. This is a fair solution for everyone. These points could be put into a newly created dvc circumstantial holding account and creation of such an account would help in the future for any trips cancelled for unforeseeable events in the future. Your idea of adding years onto a membership would not help members who are older in age but is an option
That's the best idea I've seen so far, not sure it can be done be nice if it could.
And those changes while helping some members out have negatively impacted others.
