Member Services vs Online availabilty within 10 days of arrival

[bostontim]

I noticed this language on dvcmember.com:

Accommodation inventory is the same whether you book online or through Member Services, except within 10 days of arrival. For close-in bookings, if you do not receive your desired selection, you may contact Member Services.​

Is this referring to "breakage" inventory that some mention? Do very many people have success by calling close to arrival when there is nothing available online? Is this the type of thing that some agents know how to check for and some do not, or should I ask for a special department if I call?

Thanks for the advice.

Sometimes MS can call the resort to see if they want to move any cash inventory.

Thank you for sharing this DebbieB, I did not know that about DVC inventory at the 10 day mark and inside.

This is helpful info to know thanks for posting.

On an unrelated note may I ask how you got that DVC Gold badge? I've seen some people with it but can't figure out what it means.

It means they paid for the privilege of posting to the Rent/Trade board without meeting the minimum participation requirements.
