Looks like it still says “certain discounts.” I’m still of the opinion that it’s purposely ambiguous so that people think they’re missing out on more than they are.Actually the very latest membership extras doc does now specify that for any DVC-related discounts, including merchandise, you have to present a valid DVC membership card, and that to get a card you have to buy 75 points direct, etc. So while there's always nuance to be found, it is a little more clear now than it was previously (IMHO)
It's certainly not stealing or fraud to answer a question correctly CV and be granted a discount. It's fraud to answer incorrectly to deceive to obtain discount. That's not what is being discussed here, just honest answers to a simple question.
Wow, I didn’t even realize there was a difference in perks between resale and direct. I guess I need to peruse the DVC member website.
We bought resale back in 2006 and have the blue member cards, does that mean we’re grandfathered in?
I wear my blue card on a gold chain around my neck and flash it everywhere I go like Wayne and Garth backstage with their ViP passes.

Oh lawd, I need to do that as well with my blue card.I wear my blue card on a gold chain around my neck and flash it everywhere I go like Wayne and Garth backstage with their ViP passes.

At Disneyland, I have never been asked if I am a DVC member nor have I ever heard it asked, but they do always ask if you are a passholder.

At DL, I've asked about any DVC discount and if the CM said yes there is, they would also ask to see my card before giving it to me.
Or when we were there in April and they asked to see my Membership card or a screenshot of it, I pulled it up on my phone and handed an ID, and they gave us the discount everytime, merch and dining. I do not feel like it was wrong, they asked, I said Yes, they asked to see the membership number I showed it and was given the discount.Yes, you are definitely an owner. My opinion is that if a CM decides to give you a DVC discount without asking you to provide anything beyond your answer to that question, then I see it as a little magic bestowed!
Obviously, if after that question, the CM says "Can I see your membership card?" in order to get the discount, you then say "Oh, no, I am a DVC member not eligible for discounts." Simple!
Me too! I've been asked for my card and photo ID!
Every time I've bought something and used my DVC discount, the CM has asked for my blue card before giving it me. You must've hit the YOLO ones!
My husband and I are both members. One time I used my blue card and then realized I didn’t bring any money—no cash, no card—so turned to my husband to use his card. The cast member very sternly informed me that I had to use my own money. I tried to explain we were married and both owners and I wasn’t trying to break any rules but she didn’t really want to hear it. I was mortified! So I’m kinda surprised there’s CMs out there who just hand out the discount no probs Lol.
