    It would only grant you the rights and privileges for the contract purchased directly from Disney, not for the resale contract. The perks go with the contract, not the owner.

    That's correct! And if the owner has two contracts, one direct with Disney and one via second hand market, then the recent DVC changes are moot. As a direct owner they would still get access to the discounts for merch, passes and restaurants, plus access to the other exclusives like Top of the World at BLT and the new member lounge at Epcot. This is regardless of how few points they bought direct and how many they bought through resale.

    I agree! We also bought in Dec 2013 at GF. We don't really want to stay there because of the amount of pts needed. We absolutely love BW. We were lucky enough to get a wait list for F and W for December at BW but I'm taking a friend in December...5-8... And can only get OKW...I check every day! Very frustrating!

    Do you know if this is still the case? I believe there have been even more changes to the policy since this post and we are currently in the process of buying resale so I just wondered what my options were. Thanks!

    Yes, if you buy an add-on of 25 points you would be entitled to the benefits outlined by Baldburke. In doing an add-on you should look for the same use year so your contracts fall under one membership.
