Except some CMs are giving discounts to owners with white cards when those cards are not officially considered eligible. I got them a few places my last trip. When it didn't work, I showed the blue one.
As I said, I do not care who does and does not get the discounts and ultimately it is up to the divisions that DVD contracts with to make the final decision. But, if the rules are blue card only, but only some white card holders get it and some do not, then it needs to be clear so that all DVC owners are treated the same.
Again, I do not know what they will do with the new cards, but if DVD and DPEP decide that the contract between them that says only those eligible for membership perks, which includes Sorcerer Pass, and discounts, should receive them, then it makes sense to discontinue white cards because there is no pool hopping and TOTWL lounge is not open and is not something that has to be restricted to just DVC if it ever does reopen. So really, there is no need for a white card.
Of course, the fact that nothing has changed since these passes went on sale September 8th, does make you wonder what is going on because it could have been stopped by now. The fact that it has not is a pretty strong message that DPEP and even maybe DVD do not care.
