Closing Time!!

[zemra406]

Yes, I called accounting. The CM readily gave me our number after confirming my identity - I didn't even have to beg! She then transferred me to member services, and that CM gave me the Club ID and activation code to set up online account. I had been calling almost daily for a week, and every other time I was told they couldn't find me in the system. I must have used up all of our pixie dust allotment for the day, though, because I still can't find availability for a last minute trip to use up the expiring (non-bankable) points.

I just called and no dice. Told me to wait for my number in the mail. Closed on 12/30 and deed recorded 1/4. Guess it depends on who you get.

It took me a few times to get someone to cough up my number. Still haven't gotten it in the mail yet, but received the package with the magnets and stuff today.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but we received a packet in the mail with a points chart booklet and some car magnets. The next day we received a letter with our membership ID # and online activation code. Is there a membership card we get in order to get discounts in the park, at restaurants, etc.? If so, how do we get them? Thanks for any help.

There is-however DVC actually just redesigned them and is in the process of mailing the new design with a 5 year expiration date to all members-many current DVC members haven't yet received them (myself included). If you don't have a trip planned very soon I would give it a couple weeks. If you do have a pending vacation you could call member services to inquire-previously they could print one for you onsite at certain locations (BWV, BLT, SSR)-I assume it will be the same with the new cards.

Our deed was recorded on 1/5. Hoping for something this week. Just tried to call to see if I could get our membership number but the office is closed today for the holiday (oops).

Question, the Closing agent has all the paperwork (last week), but I'm told they now have to get a final (second) Estoppel/ accounting from Disney. Really? Any clue how long that takes?

On your contract, what was your closing date and then what was your actual closing date? Thanks

I believe the closing date in our contract was 12/11. That being said, the sellers took a while to get their contracts (and then closing docs) returned. We had everything on our end received by TT&M on 12/21. We got an email stating our contract was closed and our deed would had been recorded on 1/6. Checked myself and it had been recorded on 1/5. Hope this helps.

^ All of that to say.. I don't know what exactly our closing date is then? Would it be 1/5?!

 

[zemra406]

Maybe I will try again this week if nothing comes in the mail. No real rush for us but we are within the 11 month window of when we'd like to take our first trip.

Would have posted sooner but hoped that I would have closed sooner and didn't want to jinx it.

Points Loaded ??

We're from Canada (Toronto area). Does anyone know how long we could expect to get our member number and welcome package? I see people are receiving their points within two weeks, but because I'm in Canada I assume it'll take longer.

I'm in Ottawa. We closed Dec 29. Last Wednesday we received the "new member" package by FedEx, but there were no membership cards or any mention of a number, and nothing yet in the regular mail. So frustrating! I'm trying to be patient, but I'm still hoping to book a couple of nights at the end of our March trip, so I'm pretty anxious to get access to the system. If I don't see a membership number in the mail today, I might break down and call. If I weren't following these forums so closely, I really would be confused at this point (umm, so this point chart is great and all, but how do you expect me to use it without a membership number?), so it seems like a call would be reasonable.

Good luck getting your membership number soon!

Woo hoo! Called and got my membership number. They were so nice.

So what department are people talking to. I called today and talked to member accounting. I said that I had purchased a DVC and it closed on the 4th of Jan and wanted to check and see if I was entered in their system as of yet. I was promptly asked if I bought it resale. I told them yes and then was told that they would send me a packet in the mail. They said it would take up to 4 weeks and that I would have access to the member information before they would (obviously a lie). They said that with the holiday in their I should give it till the 8th of Feb before calling again.

Someone asked the same thing yesterday and I responded a few posts above!

Gah, good to know. So that's like two weeks though? Not too bad though considering we're up north. I'm sure you'll get your number soon. Not sure if you've thought about calling. I know I would be itching to.

Yay! I'm totally going to try calling by the end of the week then. You closed 2 days before I did.

Good luck!! It took me a few minutes to get through but the person I spoke with had no problems giving me the number and transferring me to someone who would give me the ID and activation code to log on to the website.
