Room discount rates

[off to neverland]

Hi all,

I have another question. I notice some of you mention paying part of your trip in cash rather than points. What is the member discount per night? Are the hotels more expensive on the weekends vs. the weekdays?

Thanks,
Rae

Cash rates are the same on weekends as weekdays- depending on the season.

The DVC discount is 25%- when available. Since these rooms must come from the member inventory, the discount is not always available. The first priority is to allow opportunity for point reservations but, when it's apparent to DVC that there is availability after oppportunity to reserve using points, the discount may be available.

The DVC discount is available only at DVC resorts and must be reserved thru MS.

Enjoy!

Members get 25% off rack rate for that room for that season. It's not guraranteed and dependant on occupancy. There are limited numbers of rooms available with thd discount but there is no difference between weekdays or weekends. That's why members sometimes prefer to pay cash for the weekend and points on the weekdays.

You will need to reserve the room with the member discount from Member Services and not through CRO.

I recently made reservations for our trip in June 2005. We are using our points for 6 of the nights in a studio and 5 nights in a 2-BR villa. The family we are taking with us is going to pay for the Friday night stay in the 2-BR villa but there wasn't a DVC discount so we will need to pay the full price (at least that's what MS said). I asked if there were any other discounts available and was told that they could not guarantee that we would not have to change rooms for the final night's stay in the 2-BR villa! We decided to make the full reservation and pay the full price because we won't want to move. Annmarie
