![]() Just saw this on the DVC member page. Still grandfathers in all who meet current eligibility for perks.
Membership Extras Eligibility Effective February 25, 2018, to be eligible for Membership Extras, Members must own and maintain a minimum of 75 Vacation Points purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. All Members who are eligible for Membership Extras as of February 24 will not be impacted by the 75-Vacation Point requirement, as long as they continue to meet the previously implemented eligibility requirements.

![]() Just read this. So now we are witnessing the end of the 25 point add on. I guess there will be a mad rush to get those last minute 25 pt. Contracts. Disney sure knows how to generate sales....

![]() This maybe means that eventually in the not-too-distant-future that they will drop the 'Grandfathering' for the people with less then 75 points direct.
Wonder if it also means that 25 point direct contracts will become a thing of the past. Humm................ best, ...............john PS: Again... time to write those emails/letters expressing displeasure.

![]() That would be us. I'm trying to figure if it would be worth it to buy the 25 pts now before the increase to 75 pts. The only thing that we would gain would be the DVC AP vs. our current Platinum renewal cost. I'm sure that we're not alone in this.

![]() All my points are resale with membership extras (grandfathered from 2012 - everything except cruises). I should be okay, right?

![]() A little bit of the print.....
y. To receive any Membership Extras, purchasers must present a valid Disney Vacation Club Membership Card along with a corresponding valid photo ID. Effective February 25, 2018, to obtain a Disney Vacation Club Membership Card, Members must accumulate a total of at least 75 Vacation Points purchased directly from DVD. Disney and Concierge Collections options are not available for ownership interests not purchased directly from Disney Vacation Development, Inc. after March 21, 2011, and, effective April 4, 2016, Members who have not purchased an ownership interest directly from DVD will not have access to Membership Extras. |

Gold AP DVC = $589 Platinum AP non DVC = $849 Difference = $260 Direct 25 points = $4275 Resale 25 points = $2750 @ $110 (would be $3125 @ $125 since small resale contracts cost more) Difference = $1525 @ $110 ($1150 @ $125) $1525 / $260 = 6 years of annual passes. 7 counting all renewals after the first time. $1150 / $260 = 5 years, even at renewal prices Plus the various discounts, and access to special events. To me it sounds doable. Do you get no interest for 6 months on Disney visa when purchasing direct DVC?

I think this is an effort to stop resale buyers from simply buying a 25 point add on to get direct benefits. Figured it was just a matter of time before they changed the minimum buy in.
