Closing Time!!

[lovelylady226]

Got letter today! Found out it was our neighbors new truck and since he hadn't sold his old truck yet he didn't know where to park it! He moved it once we figured out whose it was. I have booked 4 stays (all one or two nights) already!! WOOT WOOT!

Timeline:
Offer Sent 4/24
Passed ROFR 5/22
Closing Documents sent 6/22

Letter Received 7/20

I don't know if anyone is still keeping track, but I closed on 7/6 and the points were in my account this morning 7/20. 2 weeks on the dot. I don't have any plans for the points until 2017 so they are for rent! lol

Thanks for the update. My wife's contract recorded on 7/8 and she's got points that need to be banked by the end of the month. Sounds like we might barely make it.

Any advice on how to get your member number over the phone? Deed recorded on 7/3. I called Member Services today and the confirmed the account is set up but wouldn't budge on giving me the member number. Help!

Which department did you speak with? Member Accounting has been reliable. Otherwise, just keep trying.

We had our deed recorded on 7/3, still waiting on member # letter (hoping it comes this week since we want to try and get a booking in mid October at VGC).

Yesterday we called Member Accounting, option #3 (per the advise from this board), did not mention that we were resale, and asked to get our member number. The representative immediately asked if we were a resale, and then said she could not help us and we needed to wait for our letter. It's like they know the routine at this point, but I'm curious if it is just a case of getting the right person. She was very polite though (unlike one guy we got last week from member services who almost made my wife cry). She answered a survey after...

I think we'll get a letter later this week or early next, but wish we could get it over the phone as some people have experienced already.

You are exactly a week ahead of me. When your letter arrives I would appreciate you letting us know. Also, how many miles from Orlando do you live?

I'm in northern California, so pretty far away...

Has anyone ever tried to get a membership card in person? It is looking more and more like we will already be in Florida when our packet arrives at home.

yes, we had this happen to us in June. Got our member number and points just 5 days before we were leaving for Disney. We were staying at ssr, so it made it easy to get our card there. There are other places also I think, but at ssr you just go to the preview center and show your id's and tell them you forgot your cards. In just a few minutes, you will have your newly printed cards. Turns out, it's a good thing we did this because when we got home from our vacation and got our mail, they had only sent my husband's membership card even though we are both on the contract. I would normally call and ask about mine, but I have the one I got down there so I'm fine.

Sound promising. Thanks so much.

I finally showed up on the comptroller website today!! Any idea what comes next and how long it may take? Thanks!!

 

[Jessiemendez1]

About 10-12 days and then the letter is sent out. That's what I've seen so far. Mine was recorded on the 17th. The waiting is terrible.

Closed and sent to DVC 7/7 and nothing yet.

 

[HooptyDis99]

If anyone has had any success getting their member number over the phone within the last two weeks, please share. I'm curious if they shut that down wholesale, or if there are still some reps that are willing to help.

 

[abbysmama]

I know the wait is almost over but currently at 109 days and it's frustrating.
