Closing Time!!

[Matty B13]

Well, now my new membership number is showing up in booking online, but points aren't there yet...

Give it a couple of hours, they will probably show up today or Monday. Congratulations fellow VGF owner!!!!!

How do you know when to call and get your number?

Everything I've read here has varied. Some say a week some say 10 days.

Getting closer! I called this morning to get an update and by looking up the number of the contract I just purchased Member Administration was able to tell me that they had received the recorded deed but that the contract hadn't been transferred into our name yet. The representative I spoke with said it could take up to 2 weeks to transfer the contract as it is a manual process. She said I could call back at any time and they could check the status as long as I gave them the contract number.

I checked later this afternoon and I now see the new contract (it is the same resort and use year as my existing contract) listed under my account. Now I just need my point balance to be updated!!

FWIW, this is a different UY and home resort from my previous one, and it all started showing up in my DVC booking tool and dashboard this afternoon. I didn't call or anything.

Mine are different too. Is it just listed on your dashboard under your other one?

yep - I thought there would have to be a whole different log in process based on how complicated everyone was making it sound, but it's all there on the dashboard pretty clearly!

ETA: I could see it getting complicated once you have 3 or more resorts/UY combinations. For example, if I had 2 different UY at one resort, or more than 3 home resorts, it might get hard to manage. by 2UY, 2 resorts, that are intended to be used separately, does not seem hard at all.

(Wait a few months for me to start posting here about losing points because I didn't plan correctly, LOL)

It’s not to complicated, you just have to do a little more planning with which contract your points are coming from for a reservation.

How many do you own?

How soon after closing did you all get your membership number from Disney via mail? We are 1 week post recording so I was going to give them until Friday and then call Member Services on Monday. Does that seem like enough time?

It has been a week for me also. Nothing yet.

The resale process requires a lot of patience, but Scot Decker at the Timeshare Store was a pleasure to deal with.
His courteous, prompt, and professional assistance along the way was appreciated.

I am using the Timeshare store too, but with another agent. They are professional, I just wish there was more communication. I feel like I am bothering every time I call.
