This is only a brainstorm and I know I will get torn a part for this suggestion. There would also be legal hurdles but I think DVC should create some sort of tiered system like Marriott Vacation Club.
This isn’t ideal for DVC members, but Disney continuing to attempt to increase their piece of the pie in an unpredictable fashion is far from ideal as well . This just makes more sense as a long-term strategy for them.
Also, I’m just spitballing the tiers and months.
Home resort gets you 11 to 9 months exclusive access to your resort booking
More than 500 direct points owned (across all of DVC) gets you platinum status booking non-home resort at 9 to 7 months
Between 250 to 499 direct points owned gets you gold status booking non-home resorts at 7 to 5 months
Between 0 to 249 direct points owned gets you silver status booking non-home resorts at 5 to 3 months
0 direct points owned gets you bronze status booking non-home resorts 3 to 0 months
You can upgrade your status annually for a monetary fee as well as have full DVC membership for an annual fee
