Did you get a welcome packet or just a letter with your member number?

The welcome packet with cards and magnets. The letter came about 2 weeks ago.

Did you buy direct or resale?? I closed October 16th and nothing yet

 

[LoLaRae]

Resale. From what I've been seeing on the threads our contract went a lot faster than most for some reason. I didn't think that would affect the packets timing though. As someone mentioned above, it came from an outside company so hopefully they will be doing a bulk mailing and everyone will get theirs in the next few days.

 

[mickeyman]

Ours was fast too. Was exactly 1 month from submitting for ROFR to closing.

That's right around what ours was. Did you get the letter already?

 

[mickeyman]

Hopefully a big group of them went out and we will have ours in the next day or 2.

Yes go the letter with member number on November 6th.

Thats what I'm thinking will happen. It came from an outside company in a usps priority envelope. It came addresses to my husband but everything else related to the contract came to me, so I thought that was odd.

Just got home and the packet was in the mail. It figures, it arrives after I contacted MS to get cards mailed out for our upcoming trip.

 

[mickeyman]

Hope that means mine is waiting at home for me when I get home. Where do you guys live? Hopefully near me so I know mine should be there

Looks like the ID card design is changing, maybe that is adding to the delay?

How so? Changing the logo again?

[MrPTato]

Very nice. Thanks for the picture! Do they re-issue for everyone or just new memberships going forward and lost cards? Just noticed it has an expiration too. Guess that makes sense as if you sell your contract, you could, I guess, still waive your card for the discounts.

NJ. As disneynutz posted earlier, it came from an outside vendor. It was mailed from Georgia.

 

[mickeyman]

Just got home and mine was here too!! I guess they sent out a big batch all at once!!

We closed in late Oct and got our packet yesterday.

Has anyone who closed late October/early November received their membership cards yet?

We have an upcoming trip and haven't received our cards yet. We arrive late on the 24th and were planning to hit a park for Christmas. We bought APs at the DVC price. Only problem is to activate the voucher, we need the DVC card. Of course the offices are closed on Christmas, so if they don't arrive before we leave, we are missing a day at the parks. We are staying at BWV, so we can go to the office but will have to wait until the 26th.

I sent an email explaining my situation and was told it can take several weeks for the cards to ship and sorry the offices are closed on Christmas. I will be calling tomorrow. Anyone have any luck contacting MS and getting cards sent?

I got my membership number on Nov.2 and my membership cards around Dec. 9 or so.

Just have them printed when you are down there. My dh lost his before our trip last week. He popped into the DVC center at Boardwalk and was in and out with a fresh new card in about 10 minutes!
