Closing Time!!

[blizzard]

Finally made it through the entire process. Took a little while longer on certain stops, thanks to Covid, the US Consulate, the State of Hawaii, and First American. This is our first Aulani, but we have been members at OKW for 23 years. (US Seller, International (Canada) Buyer)

I have been trying to be patient waiting to see how long it takes once the contract appears for points to appear as a data point for everyone here (without calling to get them loaded), but I confess at 8 days out, I'm beginning to lose my patience, lol.

 

[jennf]

What tel # do I call if I have received my member id but points haven’t loaded? I have points that are going to expire on Nov 30th that I want to use. Hoping if I call and nicely inquire on how long it takes for points to load maybe I can receive some magic.

 

[Lorana]

UPDATED: Yay! Obsessively refreshing, and venting at how I was running out of patience was clearly the key to getting my points to appear today!

Congrats on getting the points FINALLY loaded....I've been watching your progress as a "yardstick" to my contract. My contract was added on Tuesday and I'm just waiting for the points. I don't have a trip that I need to book, so I've opted NOT to call MS to allow those favors to go to those who do need to book now. I'm hoping that maybe I'll have my points by the end of tomorrow

Definitely interested to see how long the last two take. I'm thankful I'm not in any hurry for these, but man, waiting for my BCV points to load felt like the longest wait!! A couple thoughts... It was great getting my closing docs in a week for BLT, I am not a huge fan of Magic Vacation Title. I like to use a credit card for my deposit and to wire closing funds. They charge $45 to use a cc for deposit and another $35 fee to wire funds over! WHAT?!?! That irritated me, but oh well - lesson learned and I'll stick with my favorite, Mason, if we ever add on again. I was prepared for everything to take 4+ months, so I'm pleased with around 3 months total!

Finally complete! I emailed Member Administration recently and they replied today saying they were working on contracts loaded on 9/30/20 and should have my points loaded within the next 24 hours and they were right!

Just for fun - I've posted this a few times, but here is my timeline for a BLT re-sale contract I purchased in January 2020, less then half the days...

Offer accepted by seller: 1/8/20
Submitted to Disney for ROFR: 1/10/20
Disney waives ROFR: 1/23/20
Closed on my re-sale: 2/12/20
Deed was recorded (according to comptroller website): 2/17/20
Contract visible (existing DVC Member): 2/20/20
Points loaded: 2/22/20

Total days from offer to points loaded: 45 days

It is incredible to see how much faster things worked pre-pandemic. Just from closing to Points loaded was 10 days versus 28 days. I hope we eventually get back to pre-pandemic days and all of the laid off CMs get re-hired.

Mine took 8 days this time around, and I have a second contract that doesn't have points yet but is only at 4 days. Hopefully you'll see yours tomorrow!

Three great resorts! I like your mix.

And I so agree with you about Magic Vacation Title. I was a bit miffed about that as well, and likewise swore to stick with Mason after that.

They always do that so if something comes up its been built in. Once all documents are in, they will close.

My brand new, shiny, DVC account showed up 8 days ago. I'm being ever so patient waiting for my points to load....honest. Whilst I was refreshing my account every two seconds patiently waiting, I explained 'addonitus' to my husband. He is not pleased with this concept Personally I blame you lot
