If we bought a 'used' contract, can't we still receive referral bonuses?

Resales are competition for DVC. Why should they reward you for helping give business to their competitor? They should give it to you if you refer someone who buys direct, regardless if you originally bought resale or direct.

That's my point.

When my friend bought direct from DVC (VWL), I wasn't given the referral because my membership was bought resale (OKW).

Bah, Humbug.....

Oh well, off to BCV I go

as you can tell, it was years ago and I'm still mad!

Okay,

I have 2 resales.... and a couple of newbies.... BCV and SSR....

almost a total of 1,000 points.

Obviously, a good customer. Would it have killed them to give me something?

My FIL owns, my best friend owns, we own,..... and always a reason why we can't get anything.

When my best friend owned, she did give me as her first contact, and bought originally (directly) from DVC for VWL, and I was told.... oh, at this point you only own resales (a couple of OKWs), so this won't count either for me.

and then when I bought direct from DVC tried to give referral back to friend, but they said that I'm an existing customer (via resale).

Seems like they want it both ways to me.

I just think they are cheap, and have no intention of fufilling the promise.

Not getting a referral because you're a resale buyer is a crock, you should have pushed it further. Likely they made a mistake OR someone was trying to punish you on their own. I have only bought resale and have had a number of referrals, some I didn't even know about until after the fact. DVC has generally been good about this. But they will not give a referral for the resale purchase as they make the money on retail and resale actually takes away from their sales. And if anyone has had ANY contact with DVC prior, they will give the referral based on that contact, even if it was 10 years ago.
