Question about MM and a possible rant about MS

[JackosinDIS]

Do you have any res in your DVC-Y membership that maybe coincides with any other of the 3 total summer events?

Nope, the next res in the DVC-Y membership is 10/30

I suspect eligibility is, in practice, determined by "MDE identity". If that identity (a) owns a qualifying membership and (b) has a stay directly booked through MS, that's good enough, though I suspect it is not the intention of DVD.

Furthermore, I can imagine DVD not wanting to go to great lengths to "fix" it---it's a subtle enough difference that there is no real reason to tick off Members who might otherwise still eventually buy direct (unrestricted) points.

Weirdly, I got an early registration email for a res using resale points on my non DVC-Y membership. Is that normal?

Yesh because for MM, all that is required is that you are eligible, DVc Y, and have a reservation booked via your membership.

So, it doesn’t matter which one you used. Now, they could change that in the future to state that reservations must also be booked in a membership that is eligible, but for now, it doesn’t matter.
