DVC Closing

[IMarriedMyEllie]

Hi DVC experts! I am required to bring a certified check or wire money to closing. I understand why. Has anyone found a way to get credit card benefits or other benefit I haven’t thought of when paying for the rest of my DVC contract?

I used a card for my closing (the entire thing), so I could get rewards points. I’d use a rewards card if I were you.

I also used my credit card for the entire purchase (across several contracts over the years).

Not sure if that’s possible. The title company said they require a wire or certified check.

If buying direct from Disney then you can use a credit card. I used my Disney Chase Visa and got 2% back for a net result of $4 savings per point.

If buying resale then its probably as you stated above with certified check or wire. If you've wired money before, then its easy enough to do that on your phone from you bank's app. If not, then you'll need to go to your bank and get the certified check. Most resale companies don't do credit card as it eats in to their profit or if they do accepted it that pass on that transaction fee to the buyer.

We bought DVC resale last year and we our only options were to use a cashier's check or wire the funds in order to close.

If you are purchasing resale, they only
Allow you to put a portion on a card.
I was only allowed to put $5,000 on my card and the balance has to be wired. Each title company has a different max amount. Did you ask what their max on a card was?
