Closing Time!

[tarheellovesdisney]

I just got my activation code email! Today is day 86, so I’ll update the total when I have my account and points. But wondering - how long did it take for you all to get your membership ID email after the activation code email? Trying to be patient but it’s been a long 86 days

We received our 2nd email an hour later. Hope it comes soon!

The waiting process feels so painful because I chose a March use year with points that need to be banked before 10/31. Looks like I have at least a week or two more to go.

I have a similar situation, we should be fine even DVC should be able to process adding a membership and points before 10/31 I don't know who your Title/Escrow was (blocked) but give them a call to ask if they can look and confirm what day your info was Sent to DVC and how it was sent. That's just a good way to make sure they didn't forget to forward it on.

My 2 emails came in today! So now I’m just waiting for the points to be loaded so I’ll definitely be okay to bank by 10/31!

So 18 days? That’s really good. I’m on day 8. So hopefully less than 2 weeks to go.

 

[MilesofSmiles]

Yep! 18 days to get my member ID. I’m going to call about adding on 50 direct Poly points tomorrow and see if they can load my existing points at the same time.. we’ll see what they say!

I suppose I should try chatting in again tomorrow. I have one contract going on 5 days on my account with no points.

And I chatted in after around 24hrs and was first told 'it could take weeks' and then after I persisted they put me on hold (or the chat version of it) and then came back and said they were not ready to load onto my account.

Any tips lol

I chatted them up at 9:30 am and said “Do you think it would be possible to get the points loaded since I have some expiring 2023 points and bankable 2024 points (March UY)?” She said she’d check if they were ready to be loaded and they were! They loaded them in less than 5 minutes.

Just realized this made no sense. I was given the it can take weeks line too. I called again next day and they were able to help me.

Great timeframes! Probably didnt feel like it though.

Great timeframes! Probably didnt feel like it though.

Definitely didn't, especially the last week with the Aulani one. First trip we wanted to book with its expiring points is a little past the 7m mark so I was also concerned about losing the room.

Copper Creek was very fast, but I'm still a couple months from booking anything with it, so I wasn't even in a rush there.

Just closed today on my first resale contract! Took longer than expected due to the seller waiting for approval on the HARPTA exception before signing the closing documents, but glad it's finally done.
