Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't get the chance to update again yesterday. So as I said, I tried to call yesterday morning starting at 9am until I had to leave the house at 10:30, and continuously got a busy signal. I tried again when I got home, around 3:30, no busy signal, chose option 2 for MA, then chose option 3 for no particular reason, lol, and a very nice castmember named Debra answered right away. I explained my situation, said we had closed approximately two weeks ago, and that I was hoping she could help me, as my seven month window was coming up in a few days and I needed to make reservations. She was very helpful. She never asked if it was a direct or resale purchase. All she needed was my name, address & phone number, deed number, seller's name, and that was it. She gave me my membership number, my new contract number which is slightly different, & my Club ID. She then transferred me to MS, and that very nice castmember, can't remember her name, gave me my activation code and walked me through signing on and making sure everything was working correctly. All my points were there! Unfortunately, there was not much to choose from at my home resort, AKV, for the time frame we are looking to go, the first week of December. We need a two bedroom. There was full availability at SSR & CC, but can't book those until the 1st of May. I'm hoping more opens up at AKV during the first two weeks of December once people can switch over to CC and anywhere else they're waiting for at the seven month mark. I forget, can someone who knows tell me if I have to wait for my full week to be in the seven month window before I can book, or just arrival day? You would think I wouldn't have forgotten this in just three years since we sold our two direct contracts. Our recording date was 4/13/2017, for those who want to know.
There was availability at Kidani mid second week into the third, not what I really wanted. My other sticking point is that our resale has points expiring on December 1st. 8 -2016 points and 26 -banked points from 2015. We really don't want to take a trip between now & December 1st since I'm taking a Girls' Trip next week with rented points, so kind of wanted to save some money for the trip in December. Contemplating renting the points. We could always stay at SSR, but with two little guys going who will be 3 & 5 at the time of the trip, I just don't think SSR will be that thrilling for them. Decisions, decisions!
Thank you so much for all of your updates my deed was recorded the same day as yours.
Congrats!!!!
