Closing Time! 2021 and 2022 Edition

[pianomanzano]

Proof of points is easy. Just screenshot on the computer. Signing requires owners to go to a notary which can take time to do.

Some can get it done soon and others have to coordinate Not much the broker or title company can do other then to remind the seller that closing is set for no later than the 12th.

I hate to be a downer but I think the chances of you getting those points in time will be though it’s currently taking 5 to 6 weeks from when Disney gets your info to creating the account and loading the points.

Even if you do, availability is pretty close to near zero before December.

Yea, when we made the offer last month I had a feeling we wouldn't be able to use them given timing and availability. We also didn't think we'd pass ROFR, but got lucky there ($120pp for loaded SSR) so we were hoping to roll that luck into some continuing fortune towards an early closing and early account creation to at the very least use some of those expiring points or at least rent them out. I'd be really sad to see points go to waste, I wish the owner just rented those points before putting the contract up for sale or something!

We were planning to call a guide and see what they could do about adding points the second we get that account created as we also plan to immediately add on some Riviera points. Just sucks that it's in the realm of possibility but being held up. Still feeling very fortunate to get a good deal and should just be content with that I guess

I just got off the DVC chat. After waiting 4 weeks for the log-in info to get in for my membership number, etc. (Closing 27 July, Recorded 28 July, the 2 e-mails about midnight UK time 26 August, so essentially 27 August for us) - it now seems the wait for resale to have points loaded is 3 to 4 weeks.

(I know some people are calling to have this done quicker, but this is what I was told for the regular process. The booking window for the trip I need is 15 November, so not so much that I want them now, now, now , as the 2 months for Disney associated delays...)

For anyone interested, it is September 20th now and I still don't have points in my account...

If possible, try calling. I know you're in the UK, but that's the fastest way to get them to load points.

Maybe doing the add on will help get MA to create it faster and you will get lucky that something will be available late October to November.

As I said, other than a night here or there, most are booked up but changes can and do happen!

Good luck!

Our newest contract showed up in our account today and we got the welcome email. We have a Feb UY and we were told the sellers banked all the points for us. I would honestly feel a lot better if I could verify that for myself. How long do i give them to put the points in the account before calling? 2 days? a week? I would really like to see them before 9/30.

thanks!

I used chat the same day but I had a trip I needed to get the points into so I could use the other points to get another one booked.

When I talked to them last week they said give one week. I waited one day and called again and they loaded my points.

My new contract showed up in my account on a Sunday and I called on Weds to get them loaded. CM was super helpful and had it done in 10 min.

I did send an email to member admin on Monday 9/20 politely asking for an update, I received the canned response. I checked Tuesday morning and no contract, received a welcome home email at 3:45pm to which I immediately logged in to see my beautiful new contract with no points. I promptly called Member Services and despite some phone issues on Disney's end Bella was wonderful and got my points loaded. This process is definitely not for the impatient (such as myself).

Wise move calling. Since we don't have immediate plans for our points we decided to just wait. Our new contract showed up on Aug 26 (we already had a member number) and we are still waiting on points to be loaded. Looks like I'll have to call after all, otherwise I'm not sure they'll ever get loaded!

Oh heck NO! I would not wait this long. That's crazy!!! My hold time at 4pm on a Tuesday was about 30 min. I was expecting to be on hold long enough to drive home from work and make dinner but it was shockingly easy.

If we hadn't called, I'm not sure the points would have ever been loaded. Also, we tried chat but were told we had to call. The call involved running down a manager but wasn't too terribly painful.

Wow, you had to wait awhile! We had same offer date and broker but I wasn't that patient - I broke down and called about points 10 days after contract showed up.
8 days difference in deed recordation
10 days difference in contract showing up
almost 4 weeks difference in points being loaded…

We were told our sellers banked the points from December 2020 when we bought our contract. Guess what - they didn't! And our closing took place after the August banking date. Luckily MS made an exception because the contract was with them by the 8/1 deadline and banked for us, which was a relief as we bought that contract with the intention of going twice in 2022!
