If anyone has had any luck calling to get their membership number, what did you say? Did you give them the truth that you bought and recently closed or do you say you are interested in making a reservation but can't find your membership number? I have a feeling a bit of being sneaky is needed to get the number through member services. Will wait about 14 days from being recorded on the OCC website before calling.

I agree about being sneaky, from what others have said on this forum it seems to be the way to go . Monday is 14 days for my deed being recorded so I will be calling Monday night or Tuesday morning to try and get my number to get a reservation.

This morning, my additional member number is loaded into my DVC account (this is our second contract), but there are no points listed. On an estimated 28 minute hold with MS right now to see if they can help me out.

Any luck with member services about your points?

Any luck with member services about your points?

No. The person I talked to was very nice, but he said its an Administration issue and they aren't back until Monday. I then hopped on the live chat to see if I got a different answer...that person asked me if it was a resale contract. I said yes - and he then told me that it could be weeks before the points were loaded. I sure hope NOT!!

I called option 3. Told them that we had received our letter. Went to call to get our member ID and can't find the letter. The first call they transferred me to member services. having read the threads, I hung up during the transer and called back.

Okay...this morning, Member Administration says I should see those points in my account at any time. The membership loaded Saturday morning and from there, it is 24-48 business hours until the points show up.

Guess what I'll be doing today?

Emailed title company today to find out if it looks like I will be closing tomorrow(the scheduled closing date in the contract) and they have not received the paperwork from the sellers yet, so most likely not happening tomorrow . Ugh.

Did you ever close?

Did you ever close?

As of yesterday the sellers still haven't sent in their paperwork, I'm so frustrated at this point, because now I'm in the group that won't get to take advantage of the AP discount, even though that's not one of the deciding factors for me, just frustrated that they aren't on the ball. The closing company had my money and paperwork in their hands on 3/17

Does your broker or title company have any idea what is going on with the seller? I can understand if they were out of town or a family emergency came up. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense as they don't get their money until after closing. It's frustrating when you did everything right and quickly and the problem is out of your control.

Sorry to hear that you are suffering because of other's lack of timeliness. I agree with Gharter, you should check with your broker. They should have been on top of this on your behalf!

I am sorry that they're not being helpful at all that is insane to me!! I would be passed annoyed at this point!! Is there a time limit that they give them by any chance?

I got my confirmation that " the transaction is finalized, Disney has been notified of the change of ownership. please allow Disney 7-14 days to complete change of ownership. So my burning question, I received this statement in an email dated. April 4.... Am I considered grandfathered? I have heard it is the ROFR date? I already have a direct contract so it might not matter but just wondering.

My offer accepted Jan. 20,
MY ROFR passed Feb. 21
Estoppel finished March 25

I heard that it was by the ROFR date too and not the closing date. Haven't seen 100% confirmation though. I closed last Tuesday so my broker said I'm grandfathered with the benefits but I now heard it is by the ROFR date.
Maybe your broker would know for sure.

No idea, last night when she emailed me back she said that she had asked them to send everything fed ex(or express) something witha tracking number and to please email her when it's been sent, as of yesterday she did not have an email from them, I'm hoping maybe tonight she will have some kind of response from them. I would think they want their money? hones you at this point, maybe they will back out, and I can just start the whole process over and maybe I'll find a better deal, maybe resale prices will drop with all of this craziness going on right now.

Has anyone recently received a welcome packet without a member number? Seems weird to me.
