Same UY different home?

[fmer55]

suppose i buy a differwnt resort t it has the same UY will it be on the same contract?

Yes it will be combined with your original contract and use year (when that occurs, you have an original contract number and then the new one will be the same number with .1 added at the end). If resale, you need to make sure that Disney is aware that you want it combined before closing. Note, however, that the points retain their identity for reservation purposes, e.g., only AKV points can be used 11 months out at AKV, only BLT points at BLT, and thus you cannot mix them together at 11 months out to book one resort.

If you purchase the additional contract via resale you will need to be certain that the deed is titled exactly the same as your original contract. If not, DVC will NOT combine it with your other contract.

As Drusba noted, a direct purchase add-on will be titled the same, have the same Use Year and will be a sub-contract of the original membership number - all as part of the purchase. If it's a resale purchase, in addition to needing to have the same Use Year and identical title you should also make sure that DVC knows of the purchase before closing so that they can combine the two. They will often discover that by themselves and combine the two, but if they miss it and you don't make the request they will not combine the two at a later date.

Even if you buy direct, make sure that your Guide notes the contract as a add-on. Out of 26 contracts, some direct and some resale, the only new member/contract issue we had was with a direct buy. For some reason Disney processed the purchase as a new master contract and membership even though it was the same UY and titled the same. It took a few days to redo the contracts and to get them added to our master contract.

Even if you have multiple memberships (with different Use Years) they will all appear in the same dvcmember login and on the same page.

Really? so they will appear on the same page but just as different contracts? but for 7 month booking purposes would you have to do your one time transfer? or just apply from both?

We have 3 different memberships, with 3 different Use Years at 2 different Resorts and all three can be viewed on the member site on one page.

We have never transferred points between our contracts. When we need to combine points we just reserve as many nights from one contract as our points will allow, reserve the other nights from the other contract(s) and have MS link them together into one seamless reservation. You can certainly transfer points from one into another, but this has always served our purposes just fine without the additional step.

Enjoy!

When you have different use years, they will appear on same page on-line and it will show you having two different member numbers also on the same page. You can combine them for a trip either by exercising a transfer or by reserving some nights with one use year and the remaining nights with the other and have those reservations linked. However, the on-line booking system is set up to do a reservation with only member number at a time and it won't link reservations so you should call to do any joint use year reserving.

Thanks for the input, that certainly clears things up

But only if the names are same. One log in has our Oct and Dec UY memberships for DH and I, but the Oct membership that has DS on the contract has to have a separate log in.
