People are starting to report that the decision has been back switched again and brokers are emailing their clients. John contact your broker.
Today's email
This note is to inform you that anyone with a contract that was received by Disney Vacation Club by the end of the day on April 3, will be grandfathered in to have the same access to Membership Extras that are available to others who have purchased DVC memberships from sources other than Disney since March 21, 2011. (Note: Those members who purchased from sources other than DVC after March 21, 2011 may not use their points for the “Disney Collection” (select Disney Resort Hotels, Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney) and the “Concierge Collection” resorts. As a reminder, the Membership Extras are incidental benefits offered by DVC and are subject to change.)

If true, that would certainly be fair and the right thing to do.

I have been reading the same thing from multiple sources as well and was coming here to post about it, thinking of John as well. Call your broker!

I heard from my broker. Disney sent out a communication to them. The decision has been reversed to contracts pending as of April 3 retain the "bennies".
All the fuss and letter writing apparently had an effect.

Got our official communication in the mail yesterday.
I understand people don't like being nickeled and dimed every step of the way. As previously mentioned on this thread DVC is still a great investment if you want to regularly vacation at Disney properties.
I just wonder where DVC goes from here with with partnerings at every deluxe at WDW plus two stand alones, one at DL, Aulani and the other two east coast sites. Maybe something Star Wars themed adjacent to Hollywood Studios?

I don't think they're looking at a stand alone right now. I think their next step will be another conversion at either YC/BC or BW similar to what they've done at Poly and WL.
Just glad this whole thing worked out for all involved but I don't think this is the last resale change we will see from them.

I expect about a year from now (when the dust from this brough-ha-ha settles down) they will drop all of the added bennies from ALL non-direct purchases.
I think someone screwed up in saying that the pending stuff was OK... got their butt chewed...... and then trying to fix their mistake, the backtracking was a clear "faux pas" with the customers ........ but the intent is there to do so.

When my sister was buying resale direct from Disney a year ago the sales rep discussed this with us. He pointed out the dropping of the other non-DVC properties that had just happened as being step one. Step 2 according to him was the dropping of the DVC Perks which we've just seen. As for the next 4 steps he said would be happening......it ain't pretty. As it is only a rumor I don't feel it is fair to say what those 4 steps are. We all have all heard many rumors in the past that we have seen not followed through on. I for one am keeping my fingers crossed that these just vanish.
BTW - Disney direct DVC resale is a very active purchase function. There are up to one year and better wait lists for membership in most all DVC resorts currently.
