okw avail to everyone but not dvc!

No worries, that member will use his or her points for a stay some other time, because they are already paid for.

If they were going to comp someone a room, a DVC Member---someone who is already locked into coming to WDW for the next 35-50 years---is about the last person they need to encourage to come again.

One thing that none of us would know is how successful Disney is in renting rooms on short notice. If they were to return rooms to DVC inventory, the decision would have to occur with reasonable notice to members (60 days? 30 days? 14 days?) And Disney would be losing whatever revenue might have been generated on CRO rentals AFTER that point.

In Lexxiefern's case the room apparently remained unbooked. No matter the system used that will happen at times. But the unknown is how much CRO revenue would be lost by returning ALL DVC rooms to member inventory prematurely.

Additionally, returning rooms to DVC would mean CRO could pull even more rooms at some date in the future.

Can someone please explain why is it that when I called DVC to book a studio for 03/15 - 03/20 I was told we had no avail but when I go on Disney.com and tried to book a studio for the same week they have avail? Why is it that DVC members dont have first option to book?

SSR had available last week - for that week.

did you ask if any dvc resorts were available?
