Joing DVC...extra incentives if you know a dvc member?

[stich1fan]

Hi,

I am very new to this forum and was wondering.....when joining dvc do you get extra incentives, if you are referred by a dvc member or in you mention you know a member?

I believe I read something like that in another thread?

At times, there have been incentives to purchasers who have a member referral but I don't think that program is in place at the current time.

Existing members can benefit from a referral since they will get a Disney gift card if their referrals make a purchase.

There is no way to tell if the referral incentive will be offered again in the near future.

I heard existing members can't take advantage of this if the member lives in Texas? Is that true?

There are some states that will not allow DVC to give it's residents the referral gift - that is up to the state itself and is not within DVC's control. At one time Indiana would not allow the referrals but has changed that position over the past few years.
