Closing Time!!

[wn01aa]

Ugh I just called and the woman tried to tell me it can take 8 weeks to transfer the info I get so many different answers .. Guess I'll try again Monday.

When you called did you tell the truth that you bought resale and wanted your member number? One person got their number once by saying they were calling to book a vacation but had lost their membership number.

Told her I was coming in a 3 weeks and needed to order my annual passes to book fast passes and she looked up the contract info and said it was still in the previous owners name and that's when she's like it can take 8 weeks but the other lady I talked to yesterday told me to call today and see if it was done so hopefully Monday I can get it.

I plan to call on Monday since I was recorded on March 29th. Did you use option 3 and what did you say to the person to get your number? Thanks.

I used option 3. I just said that I was a new member and that my deed was recorded on 3/28. I told her that I needed to purchase our APs for an upcoming trip and that member services said that I could talk to them about getting my membership number. It was easier than I thought it would be...I must have gotten a good person to talk to.

I closed on the 28th and i just got an Update from USPS saying a package is getting ready to ship from Florida to my address. I love that I signed up for that now anytime I have a package knowing or not I get a notification something is coming. i have it for fedex, UPS, and USPS. no surprises for me.

How do you set this up?

Go to each one of their websites and sign up. you can then turn on notifications. I have them all setup to send me a text message.

Congratulations. And you didn't even have to call? Now the real fun begins with vacations.

I really don't think it matters if you tell the truth or not. If you get someone who's inclined to be helpful, they will be. Otherwise... not.

I didn't make anything up when I called for my membership number. The first person I talked to fed me a bunch of outright lies (and I *know* now that they were lies, based on the postmark of the letter I eventually received - two months after it was sent). The second person was very helpful, no issue at all. And I talked to member administration (option 2).

Just a small word of caution - based on what others have reported, they *do* know when the letter has been mailed. So if you try the "I can't find my letter" line too early, they'll know you're lying. Whether or not you care depends on the individual, I guess.

I called and received my membership number but still need the activation code and club id number. Someone before mentioned using option 6 but there only seems to be option 1, 2, and 3 when I called. Does anyone know which number to press to get the codes?
Thanks.

Okay. It was option 6 in member services which was option 1. In now and logged in.

Question...We've sent in our closing docs and the sellers sent there's last week. Will the broker tell us when we've officially closed or should I keep checking to see if the deed was recorded?

My title company emailed me when they finished the closing. I then checked the website the next business day and it was recorded.

That really is long
Hope you get your number quickly

They generally do a final points verification before closing the file. Should only take a day or two. Then you'll see the deed recorded and 2-3 more interminable weeks later you'll get your member number.

Congrats on surviving the process! You've had quite an ordeal there compared to many of us. I've been hoping that would work out for you in the end. And I'm really glad you're grandfathered in to the perks. You certainly paid your dues for them in waiting and worrying!

Thank you'd much, I know I've posted about it a few times, but my real life friends and family don't understand
