DVCNews Debates
Last week Disney Vacation Club unveiled new S.S. Member Cruise voyages set for September 2012 and January 2013. Buried within the fine print was a clause which prohibits those who exclusively own resale points purchased after March 2011 from booking either of the Member Cruises. These owners would be prohibited from using their points due to the recent resale restrictions, but the cruise booking guidelines stipulated that they could not even pay cash to attend.
Topic: Barring resale owners from Member Cruises...fair or foul?

it seems to be working. DVC is really pushing the non-DVC resort vacation packages in all of their current advertising and from the people I've talked to who are considering purchasing DVC, they are willing to buy from DVC at double the price of the resale market! They have bought into the argument that resale purchases are less valuable because they can't be used on disney cruises, etc. DVC sales are up 18% fom last year (Feb to Feb). I think it is an ingenius marketing strategy, focusing on vacation packages that are truly overpriced if you use vacation points vs cash. Kudos to DVC for resurrecting a timeshare industry that was dead in the water 2 years ago.
