Multiple contracts with the same Membership ID

[jrfarr72]

I've read in a few places how this is supposed to work, but I just wanted to confirm with those experienced on this forum!

I currently have a Copper Creek contract purchased through Disney, and then later I purchased an Animal Kingdom contract through third party resale. Since one was through Disney and one was resale, I have two different Membership ID's when I log into my DVC account. I'm considering buying more points to enable us to book grand villas to take others with us, but I want to make sure the new points will merge with an existing Membership ID.

In general, I want to confirm what it takes to get more points added to an existing Membership ID.

I would prefer to buy more resale at some point, therefore for my specific situation my understanding is that I would need to buy more Animal Kingdom with the same use year I currently have. That would then allow the new points to be added to my existing Membership ID and all the resale points would function as one "pool" of points. Is that all it takes, or is there more to it? For example, is there anything in the purchasing process I would need to specify to ensure it gets added to the same Membership ID? I wouldn't want to buy more points and get a third Membership ID!

Is it also possible to get another resort location and that get added to the same Membership ID? I'm assuming it would still need the same use year. Obviously that would force booking something at 7 months instead of 11, since it would be a pool of points for different resorts.

Any info or insights would be appreciated!

Your use year is all that needs to match for it to be on the same membership ID. So when you bought your animal kingdom resale if the use year would have matched you would only have one membership id. Overall have multiple ID's and use years is not a big deal, it just is a little work remembering banking deadlines etc.

Make sure that you title the new resale contract exactly the same way as you titled the initial AKV resale contract. Then be sure to specify with your broker that you want the new contract added to your existing AKV membership.

The 2 things that need to happen to use the same member ID.

1. Same Use Year
2. Titled exactly the same as existing contract

I have 2 UY and it is really not a huge deal, but I am not really wanting a third either. The resort does not matter as my main UY has 5 contracts (1 SSR, 2 VGC, 1 AKV) and since they are all same UY and all titled the same, they are all together under 1 member ID.

This... it doesn't matter if the home resort is different, if the different DVC Contracts have the same UY and titled the same, it will have the same membership ID, and you can combine points at 11 months if same resort, or at 7 months if different resorts. So, that means can have 8 membership IDs under the same name for each of the possible UY.

It doesn't matter if the home resort is the same for each of the DVC contract, if the UY is different, you will end with different membership IDs. I didn't realized this when I got 2 Aulani contracts with different UY, but I actually like having 2 different membership IDs, it works for me.

For one of my resale purchases, I was going to have the same Use Year and have the contract titled the same as my prior purchases. However, the resale company did not ask for my DVC info. I was surprised that they did not ask. I took the initiative and gave the resale company my DVC member ID number and told them that I wanted the new contract to be under the same DVC member ID as my existing contracts.

I don't know if DVC catches it if the resale company doesn't tell them. Someone else would have to tell you that.
