They are sitting on a resale contract for me that recorded on 7/7. Same membership, same UY, and sitting at 19 days. I tried chat with MS a couple of times, and they kept asking if I'd received an email yet and I told them I've never received an email on a resale contract adding to the same membership and UY. Decided to email MA today and see what's up.

I sold a contract that closed on July 6th and was recorded on July 7th and the contract is still in my account, which means they haven't transferred it to the buyer.

Crazy that it takes this long.

Does anyone think this whole member cruise booking will delay contracts being loaded to accounts as well as points? Was really hoping we would have our points loaded before our banking deadline at the end of this month, but not looking good at this point.

That's a good point, I know i called yesterday and got an overflow person, so that might be the case. Day 17 and waiting for my contract

We're at 14 and not expecting it to come through anytime soon at this point. Just hoping we can use our one time banking after the fact and that we can get the rooms we need for February still.

This is the first time I’ve seen Mason take more than 3 days to issue closing docs. I’m very surprised by this.

This is the first time I’ve seen Mason take more than 3 days to issue closing docs. I’m very surprised by this.

Still better than the scary ones recently where others are taking a month. I will be on the phone with them daily if they take more than 5 business days. I can't help DVC slowing the process but title companies can be fired.

 

[MBTigger]

I don't think I created this as I knew there would be an over 4 month delay in closing due to a reservation on the account.

I’ve noticed (I think) a change in responses from MS this time around. On previous resale adds, when I’ve reached out either via phone or chat, I usually got a CM who would reach out to MA to see if there was a status update. A few minutes on hold, then a response of some kind. This time around, I’ve reached out to 3 or 4 CM’s and the best I get is “I don’t currently see it on your membership”, followed by the “four to six week” spiel. One CM did suggest I email MA. In all cases, their response was within a few seconds, suggesting they didn’t reach out to anyone, and simply looked to see what I can already see myself (no contract).

It seems that the MS CM’s have either been told not to, don’t want to, or can’t reach out directly to MA anymore, even to get a status update. I may be mistaken, but that’s my impression.

Oh, and I haven’t heard back from MA and I emailed them Monday.

Congratulations on getting the points and hope you snagged that reservation! You've leap frogged over us unlucky 7/11 folks. I wonder if they misplaced our stack of deeds somewhere.

Nice. 12 days is much better than mine still sitting at 21. Is that your first contract?

 

[NVDISFamily]

Hmmmmmm. How do I answer this. I'm a strange duck. Yes it is our first contract (VGC #1!!!).

However I also worked a deal to buy RVA direct points as a member add on as I was able to prove to my guide I had passed ROFR and I also at the same time I grabbed some direct CCV points too so the direct points got added on to my login well before this contract. Direct is really scary how fast it is (it can be an addicting and expensive habit). It was a strange way to go about it as my guide really didn't want to discuss the member promotions with me at all but they are so nice and seem like they can't say no directly but have to just dance around the issue to try to be nice LOL.

But I stood firm and said, I'll buy this, but only for the member price so if we can't do it, fine I'll just wait longer. He had to go get lots of extra approvals and stuff. I'm sure my guide both loves and hates me

Is that confusing enough? So yes it was my first contract, but was also added on to my login after my direct ones......

I really hope you get your login soon. A tip I learned that really got them to move to load the points quickly is to say that you want to make a reservation ASAP to use your home resort priority before the 7 month window passes to make sure your family can get the room. This worked great and they were super helpful.

Oh, that’s awesome! Congrats on all the new points! It gives me hope that I’ll see our contract on our membership soon. We have the same closing/deed recording timeline and I check about 100 times a day lol.
