Closing Time!!

[mynameisnobody]

Got signed up for My USPS. So far no shipments from Florida . Are we for sure they send in packaging that triggers the alert? Now I'm stalking my mailbox AND the usps website.

When I did my direct purchase, DVC sent the package via FedEx. Even though I also get alerts from them it wasn't until a day after I received the package that I received notice. Sometimes the delivery notifications aren't exactly sent in a timely manner. I blame that on FedEx in that case.

First American was a little lax with keeping me informed. Agent from TSS was great though and kept checking in with them trying to get answers.

Congrats and welcome home!

May I ask you how you were able to get member services to provide you with your member # before receiving it in the mail? Our deed was recorded 4/18 and I desperately need to book a reservation with our new account. Any tips or pointers are appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, I get emails from USPS, fed ex and UPS when I have packages, as I tend to do a lot of shopping online, and also do a small direct sales business in my spare time, I am always receiving packages.

No scheduled deliveries from anybody. Sundays are the worst. Just KNOWING nothing is going to show up today is sad. Tomorrow will be day 13. I might try the ol'phone call trick tomorrow.

Called and was shot down for the member number

 

[disneylovinfamilyof6]

I'm sorry! I got a lady yesterday that looked for me, but we weren't in the system yet. It's only been 7 days as of today since our deed was recorded so I assumed I wouldn't be able get it.

I called back .... I am on hold right now
ETA: They said my letter got sent out today but no dice on a verbal number. They said it got transferred Friday--that would be 10 days after recording. Round 3?

usually takes about 2 weeks to get in to the system. Then it seems to take 2 or 3 phone calls to Option 3 to get your number.
Good luck on the final wait!

 

[linzjane88]

They see it. They know. Just tell me!

Round 3 initiated! I hope they can't see my phone calls prior to this...

ETA: Fail. That lady was the worst of all of them!

I bet you'll get the letter by Friday! Great news!

I wonder if we can pay to have them overnight it instead of shipping via snail mail?

So what I did was go option#3, told them I am trying to book for a trip and that I have my contract number but not my membership number. The lady pu tme on hold and I totally didn't think it was going to happen but she gave it to me! It was my 4th call today

 

[ScubaCat]

It just depends on who answers. You can ask them to transfer you to get set up online right away, too, on the same call.

 

[disneylovinfamilyof6]

GOT IT GOT IT GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome!!!! Yay! Via phone?

 

[linzjane88]

Yep- by phone. Booked and excited!!

 

[SuperRob]

Quick question ... I see my new contract in my DVC account, correctly listed as 100 points at VGF. However, it shows no points available for the next four years. I assumed the transfer isn't quite finished yet, and maybe they still need to put the points in. Is this normal? How much longer might that part of the process take? We're trying to wait list VGC for September, so the sooner the better.

Edit: Funny enough, I was able to wait list even though I didn't have any points "available." So hopefull the points are loaded before (if!) the wait list comes through.

Congrats and Welcome Home to you as well!

I received my Member # in the mail on April 18. Same day over the phone I received my Club ID, which is needed to set up your online profile. This usually comes in a Welcome Package but well after you get the number. It only took 2 weeks after deed was recorded so you should be getting your letter very soon! Once you do, call up Member Services and they should give you your Club ID, then log on to DVCmember.com and set up your profile.. From here you'll be able to make reservations and manage your points!

Enjoy!!
