I feel I should have visited this thread earlier to mentally prepare for the wait. And the lack of response from title companies. Wiring massive amounts of money internationally is so stressful when there's not much coming back in terms of communication.

At least the agent has been great?

I was going to wait and see how long it would take for the points to get loaded without contacting member services but I just so happened to see availability for early October pop up today and I wanted to secure the reservation 🎉

I'm ecstatic at how quickly everything was processed for this purchase! The only slow part was waiting for ROFR. My seller and I were both super motivated and the teams at Fidelity (Lauran and Evy) and DVC Title and Escrow (Cammy) were lightning fast and accurate every step of the way.

Would have been sub 30 without the silly delay in getting our downpayment verified and also the Rofr passing the friday before Labor Day.

Cammy at DVC Closings is a rock star!

These 30-40 day closing timeframes are really exciting to see.
We closed in 18 days! Now its time to see how long it takes to get the points. It's a partially stripped contract so we're not really in a hurry like last time when we had expiring points, but it's still amazing to have it move this fast.

Super fast! I was referring to the total timelines, to be clear, people getting their points in a total of 30-40 days from date of offer, truly so fast.
