Thanks for the info! They received my contract on the 20th so hopefully I'll be able to call and get my membership number tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

How do you know when they've received your contract? By recording date?

The member administration rep gave me that date the last time I called. My deed was actually recorded back on 5/4, so it took DVC quite a while to receive my documents after closing.

Update. DVC telephone lines were down yesterday so unable to get through. Didn't bother calling today as I did not need the frustration. Received packet in mail today with 2 magnets and the points booklet and sample contract letter.
Hopefully will get member number tomorrow. This was my first DVC purchase....AKV. I have had 3 different BWV contracts go to DVD for ROFR. They have taken all 3... The third one today.
Buying resale is a waiting and hoping game that is nerve wracking.
Hopefully when I get my member number I can at least start making plans for the future.

Oh my!! I missed this, gr8tdame!! They took your third BWV contract?!?! Unbelievable. So sorry to hear. This must be so frustrating.

Forgive me if this has already been asked... Anyone "grandfathered" into the pre 4/4/16 membership benefit changes receive a membership card yet?

 

[DisneyHygienist]

Ok deed recorded yesterday 5/31. How many days before I start crazy calling member services trying to get my number. 5? 7? 10?

I believe I read on here that someone did receive a card.

 

[NoodlesMom]

I closed on 4/18, so I'm one of the "grandfathered" contracts. I received my membership card two days after my welcome packet.

We closed the middle of March and finally received our cards in May.

Glad to hear you received your cards... My family & I were recently in Disney & spoke to someone at a Kioske. He insisted that I was not going to recieve a card. So I just wanted to check in & see how new resale members were doing with that.

 

[distracted]

I thought the wait was finally over, but no - now the wait to see if we get membership cards as first time members. I have been told we're grandfathered in as it was submitted to ROFR prior to 4/4 and once I had the account set up ordered the membership cards immediately. I have hope since I am seeing some have success - but it still feels pretty up in the air with how the grandfathering aspect is going to go.

 

[dankil13]

I called this morning and they said they received everything on May 20th but I'm not in the system yet. They told me to try back early next week.

 

[hbrother]

I closed May 19th on my first contract. I'll be so happy to have my membership cards so I know we were "grandfathered", ROFR was March 10th.

We got ours about a week after our member # paper. Our deed was recorded in mid April.

That is great news! Was this your first contract?

 

[gluestickgirl]

yep, it was! we had spent some time getting the fact that we were grandfathered in writing (well, email) from DVC prior to closing... we were ready for a fight. so i was surprised when they showed up right on schedule!

One more timing question - once the deed is sent to the county and gets recorded, how long does it take for Disney to transfer & send out the member #, welcome documents and ID card?

Day 12 is the earliest I've seen and that's from calling them. welcome docs about day 14. member number in the mail 2 days later. member cards I'm still waiting at 3 1/2 weeks
