Closing Time!

If I don't bother asking them to load my points, how long does it typically take for them to show up? I'm a new member and my account just showed up on Friday.
 
If everything goes about as well as possible, we’ll get our points like 2-3 days before the 7m window opens for NYE and we actually want to used them at our home resort. Not getting my heart set on it, but it’s helpful to know I need to reach MS.
 

Just curious, the section “Contract showing on Membership”, what does that actually mean? Our deed was recorded on April 13th. Looks like the next stage is happening about two weeks later, but what am I actually looking for?

It means that you have your DVC account info and when you log in, the new contract is there but still shows zero points.

Points gets loaded once the contract shell is set up.

Probably would have been a lot quicker if the deed they sent the first time was correct. Oh well, all is good. I have my points and a trip is booked!

Does anyone know if the Welcome Home emails are pushed out at a certain time of day or if it is done randomly? I am a new member closed on a resale contracts (deed was 4/12)

I received ours on a Saturday evening. I was surprised they did it on a weekend.

We recordered on 4/6 and received on 4/22.

Yeah. I had created an account. Nothing under my last name. The only thing that seems weird is that there are hundreds of Aulani transactions in March and only one in April....which makes me wonder if they're being batched. I emailed my broker....still waiting to hear back. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I don't search for Aulani transactions. I only search using my name. Then I sort by date.

We are dealing with the same companies, about two weeks behind you. How did you know to check the deed website, if you don’t know when you closed?
Does this title company not send out an email letting you know?
 
Random question: were you required to get your contract notarized as the buyer? I’ve seen several posts (and a thread) asking, as several people have reported not getting their contracts notarized but the sales closed regardless.
Yes, we got our deeds notarized. Myself and my husband each had our own copies that needed to be notarized. Our paperwork from First American Title specified what needed to be notarized as well as directions for the notary.

I was bored and went to the DVC chat feature just to ask how many days it typically takes for points to show up on a new account. She came back and said she got them loaded for me. Woohoo!
