I know.Because everybody's there for the first week in February, right? {sigh} Reminiscent of the whole magnet/AP thing.
Yeah. I said it.

We bought 15 years ago, our guide then is gone and have no idea who our new guide is. We were told a name at one time, but never search him out to buy more points or anything.We got ours at AK yesterday, at the DVC booth just past Pizzafari on the way to the safari. Didn't need to show ID, but we were asked two skill-testing questions...home resort and salesperson's name (not sure if the questions differ, we had mentioned we just bought in December).
We bought in 23 years ago and my first guide left quickly thereafter and we got a new one. She retired and works in sales for the board sponsor. Don't know how many we've had since!We bought 15 years ago, our guide then is gone and have no idea who our new guide is.

Back in 2014 / 2015 they were dropped in the box with MagicBands. Now that not everyone buys magic bands, it's a unique challenge. As a non-flat item, there's a real cost associated with packaging and mailing them to members.You'd think that DVC would mail two to every member, to insure that they get widely used...
It's a conversation starter. And people at the kiosks are often not busy.I don't see how distributing them at kiosks does anything to generate new sales among existing DVC members, and certainly is a time waster for those in the kiosks.
Perhaps to some degree. In sales, looking busy tends to attract more attention. ("Hey, I wonder what's going on over there!")But, maybe the point is to make the kiosks seem "busy"?
They always ask you for your guide's name and your telephone number.Got mine yesterday at AK - had to tell them my guides name and they looked me up to confirm so this is probably a blue card perk. See that , the thousands of dollars you saved seems silly now that you don’t get the 2 10 cent sliders….
They never have asked me that in the pastThey always ask you for your guide's name and your telephone number.
