I just received an email from a DVC reseller that states:
Early this morning, Disney announced further restrictions for new buyers who purchase their ownership on the resale market, in addition to the resale policy announced in 2011. As of April 4, 2016, owners who purchase from anyone other than Disney will not have access to DVC incidental benefits (also known as Membership Extras) such as Member discounts on dining, shopping, Member-exclusive events, and certain special Member offers. With this change comes quite a few questions from current owners, buyers under contract, and prospective buyers.
What are “Membership Extras”?
Membership Extras, such as vacation options in the Disney and Concierge Collections, certain discounts, offers, and special events are incidental benefits, meaning they are secondary to your ownership and not a part of the DVC program. Incidental benefits can be removed for all owners at any time. They are subject to change or termination without notice, and may require the payment of a fee. Membership Extras are also subject to availability and block-out dates may apply, including high periods of demand such as Christmas and New Year’s Day. You should never purchase an Ownership Interest in reliance on access to or the ability to transfer these Disney Vacation Club incidental benefits.
