It is curious that these seemingly commercial enterprises secure the majority of certain rooms/dates. Either this kind of contract ownership is happening on a major scale, or they have some kind of major advantages. Probably some of both.
Interesting point.
Its not hard they are not trying to actually do their own reservation. You have 3000-4000 points per account and you have a system in place each morning to secure the walking rights.
Heck wouldn't be surprised that some of these groups have automated systems that book on their behalf at the exact timing of the DVC server clocks.
As an example there are plenty of automation that can be done on sites to buy up supply of items so this would be really no different and nothing that DVC does for account authentication couldn't be outsourced to a bot to solve. There is actually funny ideas that bots are actually better at solving those spam pop-ups than humans lol.
Wasn't there a big huff and puff around Taylor Swift recently around bots and resellers buying up all the supply of tickets?
