How does this even happen? It takes one person 3 weeks and the other 6? Crazy.

I also had my deed recorded 8/3/2020--no extra contract showing up yet.

Actually, it was 7 weeks if I counted correctly. As the person on this end, it was extremely frustrating. Plus another 3 weeks for points.

Trying to be positive, I’m hopeful this means they are speeding up on things, especially as I have 2 more contracts that just passed ROFR that I’m waiting to close on!

And that's a wrap! After seeing all the success everyone was having calling in and getting them to load the points and seeing a room open up at Copper Creek for when we are planning on going for our honeymoon I decided it couldn't hurt. At first she gave me the Member Administration email, but then said "hold one one second let me try one more thing". I happened to refresh the screen as she had me on hold and sure enough there they were. I thanked her profusely when she came back and immediately booked our first DVC stay. It's been an adventure and I'm glad it's over. I hope it speeds up even more for everyone still waiting and you get your points quickly!

My lucky day. Chatted with MS and said I have a few trips I would like to book and asked if the points could be loaded. Took a few minutes but it got done! Glad this is all done and can get to enjoy using these points!

I'm on a very similar track as you with Mason. Hopefully can get the new contract loaded by my Sept banking deadline.

How do you get on chat? Every time I am on the Member site , it says chat is unavailable.

Finally got my points loaded. Deed recorded June 11 and contract appeared online August 12. I called in twice earlier this week and sent multiple emails to members administration. I called again today and got a CM in member services who was willing to help me. I was on hold for almost an hour, but I finally have points I can use for Christmas week.

I tried on chat several times and they said can't do it. Have to call MS

 

[Llama mama]

Has anyone who completed everything in the last two weeks , gotten it done in less than 90 days?
Seems like some title companies moving faster than others or is it just luck of the draw?

Still waiting for sellers to return closing documents and it’s been how many weeks??

Just got word sellers docs finally were returned... I originally hoped I’d have points by early to mid September... but I think it’s another 6 weeks from now?
