Originally was a delayed closing. The seller has notified they no longer need a delayed closing.. not sure how that’s going to effect my time line.

- Broker did say estoppels are running very slow. (Upto 6 weeks)

Since they don't need the delayed closing does that mean they canceled a trip and you are getting some bonus points?

I have addonitis guys but I want to buy direct this time. How long is it for pts to usually be added to existing memberships?

Same day. It’s amazing after buying resale. I called and requested SSR, paid, and points were in my account a few hours later.

I always get "chat not available". Did you chat through the DVC website?

Since they don't need the delayed closing does that mean they canceled a trip and you are getting some bonus points?

Sadly no. But I’ve narrowed it down to 3 things.
We know They transferred points to RCI to take a trip.
- So either the trip is completed
- or they transferred point to a 2nd contract they have listed on the resales (also with delay closing) and then they transferred to RCI.
-or since RCI account is with a separate comp. it doesn’t effect our contract and can close ..

We are not 100% sure
Just hoping disney sends out the estoppel soon

Here's the nail biter where I hope I can get something - anything for an already planned family reunion by the time the points are loaded.

Seriously had the most rude person on chat just now..so rude in fact that I'm starting to question whether the chat function is a bot or an actual person.
Have family I'm seeing this weekend and wanted to plan a trip for next year and politely asked, got the same response as the other day...
If you buy direct it happens much faster.

This is not a good response. We bought direct almost 20 years ago now, but this resale saved me $20k and I'm still a blue card member. People who buy direct and those who buy resale contracts are still members that pay the same dues.
It's really obnoxious to separate people in a comment by customer service.

now I get to sit on hold for 45 minutes on the phone....I'm now understanding the frustration I've seen from other people posting here in the past.

Spoke to an amazing CM just now who assisted me with everything, amazing customer service and got my points loaded.
79 days from start to finish!

 

[808blessing]

It's just hit or miss. Here is an account of my asking for points to be loaded. First time wonderful. Second-time neutral. Third time horrible. Will try again.

 

[jwmob91]

Adding the timeline below to hopefully help someone out with their timeline. This timeline applies to 4 contracts that we are selling. All Poly, sold, passed ROFR, etc. on same days.

HOME RUN!

Yesterday, I couldn't get a chat CM to help me. I couldn't even get as far as being put on hold when I called Member Services! I just got the "all of our agents are assisting other members, please call again later." Repeatedly.

Today, I set an alarm to go off 15 minutes before they opened the phone lines. I timed my first call from connect to the "Sorry we're closed" message. Then set a second alarm for 1 minute before the phone lines opened. Connected right away!

Member Services Agent Kara was super kind and helpful. She called another department to help me get points loaded and book 5 of my 7 requested dates and waitlist the other two.

It'll be at Saratoga as everything was pretty booked, but I'm still really excited. If my other two waitlist dates don't pan out, I'll begrudgingly split stay in a cash room.

That is incredibly variable. It all depends on the seller...

No kidding we have been waiting for weeks! This is worse than waiting on ROFR.
