Closing Time!

[LATipton13]

Yes exactly. I wrote in my issue and the agent said call tomorrow or speak to my guide. Explained that I’m a new resale owner and was just told to call tomorrow

Received my activation code on Sunday, called in this morning and they told me I will have to wait. That there was no way to verify me for security reasons to give out my Club ID

Really?! I ended up using chat and got my club ID. Online portal is all set up. Now to request my points

I'm also a 5/10 Deed recorded - hopefully I see it today on my account (existing member). I got a lot of points to use with time quickly disappearing.

I am a 5/12 deed recorded and just got my activation code. I am a new member, haven't gotten my club ID yet, but I see that I'm not the only one in that situation.

 

[Caryn020]

Congrats! I'm on hold now hoping they will help me too.

Thank you. Was on the phone for about an hour but it was worth it

 

[Georgia Disney Pops]

We received our activation code as well, but not a second email with our club id. Did you ever receive your club id?

We received our activations code three days ago but still no Club ID. Did you ever have any luck?

Thank you. Was on the phone for about an hour but it was worth it

I'm so frustrated right now. They asked for my name and zip code and then told me they couldn't help me without my membership number. She said to give it a few more days to a week for the 2nd email to come. I'm already not a fan of how inconsistent the messaging from Member Services has been.

Hopefully things move quickly, there are 100 points banked from 2022 that I need to use or rent that don't expire until 3/30/24, but availability is going to get worse as we get closer to August (7 month mark to March 2024).

I called magic vacation titles to ask for an update on our closing docs and was told probably mid this week to early next week. I suck at waiting, so I hope that's accurate.
I looked back at the closing time thread back from 2020 when we bought our first contract, and at the peak of covid, it took 56 days from offer made to points available. I'm at 35 days right now, with no closing documents yet. I just want these points so I can use them and realize I need more points.

I wish I could go back and tell my 2020 self to buy DVC then but I was just coming back from a cancer diagnoses and major surgery so while I only missed 10 days of work, my mind wasn't in the right place.

Magic Vacation Title did take a long time but my documents were error free and the rest of the process was seamless. I didn't have the same experience with Mason Title, where I got my closing docs in a week but I had to get documents sent several times for different errors and there was some miscommunication within the firm re: my closing docs & funds (too many cooks in the kitchen maybe?).

I think if I buy in the future it'll be direct because I, too, am terrible at waiting and I really do want full perks and full accessibility to all new & future resorts down the line. For now it will do but I may be moving closer to FL soon (in CA now).

Did they say "would not", or "could not"? I've never heard them say they wouldn't at least try. Have to keep in mind, when you're chatting, you're talking to a Member Services CM. Member Administration sets up the membership/contracts, and MS can only reach out and see if the points are available to provision the contract.

Regardless, there's no reason why you can't go back on chat, after waiting maybe 24 hours, and try again.

Thank you, I'll try again. I believe that he said could not, and that it's better the allow them to load on their own, naturally. I'll reach out again. They still aren't there. I don't need them yet, but I would like to finish this.

When you are an existing owner buying a new use year, does the new one just magically appear in your account one day, or do you get an email to set it up as a totally different account?

Just magically appeared for me.

We did resale, direct, and now resale again. You honestly cannot beat how easy and quick buying direct is.
