Closing Time!!

[dayzee1983]

Just curious, for those of you who called and were asking about your member ID before getting it in the mail, were you ever told like I just was that "it's not possible for us to tell you, you'll have the number before we even get it. So wait for your card"???? Didn't seem right to me and I plan to call again, but I just thought that was the oddest answer!

 

[dayzee1983]

Well I had DH call.... He was given our member number!!! woot woot! I'll be joining to DVC meet and greet saturday on our cruise for our FIRST TIME!

We recieved closing notification 9/24

 

[Iamthequeen]

Deed has been recorded! Just waiting for points to load!

 

[Luvscrappin]

We should be receiving something anytime then...ours recorded 9/25!

 

[hjlawton]

Finally closed this past Friday (10/2), and deed was recorded today. Just waiting for the mailing with the member number! Hopefully not too much longer now...

 

[bcwilson]

Awesome news! We closed 9/11 and were recorded early the next week 9/15, I believe. I haven't gotten anything in the mail yet, but now I may try calling to see if I can get some information as well.

We got the papers on 9/28, and I was able to meet my husband for lunch to sign and go to the bank to get the cashiers check and I overnighted it back to the title office. Title office acknowledged receipt on 9/29. Well a week later and the sellers haven't returned their paperwork! Why are they holding it up??? Don't they want their money???? Ugh this is the last thing I thought would delay us.
Our paperwork says we have to close by Oct 14th, does that mean it will be voided if we don't close?
Yikes!

There's no reason to overnight your paperwork. The seller will always take longer. They have to get their paperwork notarized and (sometimes) witnessed.

 

[Marriedbythemouse]

Yeah, I'm a little excited and I overnighted it all. I have a notary in my office so that wouldn't have been an issue either. I'm just getting tired of waiting. I didn't think the seller would delay anything. Urgh

We got our membership number in the mail today. It says our cards will arrive in 10-14 days. Is that the packet that has the activation code I need to get online? I thought I could once I had the member number but the site is asking for an activation code which was not on the letter we received.

 

[dmontgo]

bcwilson.. call the number on your letter and speak to member services. They will give you the activation code and help you get set up. I just did that about a week ago.

You can only get the activation code by calling member services. The packet you receive in the mail only contains your cards, some magnets for your car and a points booklet.

We are in a similar boat. We were supposed to close on the 8th, but sellers haven't returned ppwk. They are foreign, so I assume that's part of the delay. So close, yet so far.

We have made 3 DVC purchases and all were resale. Each one seemed to take longer to get the points from when we first had an accepted offer. Is it getting worse or was it just the way it worked out for us?

I couldn't stomach the prices buying directly from Disney but just so I know how long does it take on direct purchases from when you purchase and when you can start using your points?

 

[pangyal]

Thanks for posting that, Robb!

FYI as of October 10, Magic Vacation Title was processing estoppels from about September 3rd, so that should give people working with them an estimate of how much longer...

 

[RobbW]

Woo hoo!!!!! Our recorded deed showed up on the OCC this morning! On to the next, and hopefully final, round of waiting for our DVC member number and points to be loaded. Is there a new thread somewhere I get to join now?!

To recap:

ROFR Sent: 08/05/15
