DVC member services does not have an accounts receivable system for collecting deposits. So if you book through DVC member services, you cannot pay in advance. People booking POP are booking through CRO (Central Reservations Office) and they do collect (actually require) deposits.
Wow I wasn't even aware that you could book cash nights at non-DVC resorts through MS. We always go through CRO so we can get our AP discounts... I am new to DVC too, learn something new every day!
