Member Coupon Program (MCP) – New for 2021

The MCP has been put in place for a very specific reason. We know that the core 2021 Access Rules and Regulation meet far and away the majority of the access needs of our members. However, we have learned that a much smaller portion of our overall membership has needs that extend beyond the core access policy and the Board wanted to address those needs.

We know that at times members will have house guests that may want to attend our venues at a time when the Member or a Family member is unable to actually escort those house guests to the DPA venue. For that reason, we are extending the ability for a member to provide that house guest access to DPA venues without escort by a member or family member presenting a valid DPA ID card (a non-escorted guest). These non-escorted guests will be provided access to the DPA venue for the day when they present a valid MCP coupon at the DPA office. These coupons will be limited annually to 12 per DPA member household. The MCP coupons will be an incremental benefit to a DPA member, over and above their core access benefits, and therefore members wishing to utilize this program will incur an additional cost for these coupons over and above their annual DPA dues.

MCP coupons will be sold in booklets of 12 at a booklet cost of $60. Coupons will only be valid for the year purchased. These coupons will be valid only for individuals who are actual houseguests of a DPA member. They will not be valid for individuals that are renting a DPA member house.

Coupons utilized in any manner not consistent with the above guidelines will constitute a violation of DPA Rules and Regulations. Any member involved in coupon use that is not consistent with these requirements will be subject to either suspension or revocation of their DPA access benefits.

The MCP should provide a needed extra benefit to our DPA members. MCP provides an additional flexible way for members to enjoy their membership in DPA.
