New DVC Member - Membership Cards?

[itutorfortravel]

Hi, we are new DVC members...just received our member number and login info last week.

Does anyone know if we will automatically be sent membership cards and when those should arrive? I understand I will need those for certain discounts at WDW as well as in order to purchase the TiW card.

We are traveling in June so I just want to be sure I know if we should be expecting them to come (and how long it takes)...otherwise, I need to know how to get them.

Thanks!

Congratulations! Yes, the cards will come automatically in the mail. If I remember correctly, we go to ours within two weeks. If they don't come by then I would call MS and ask.

Approximate 2 weeks is how long it took mine.

Were your contracts resale? Just wondering because I have read some things take longer for resale owners vs. buying direct, and I'm hoping the membership cards aren't one of those things.

Thanks!

I have did resale and also direct from Disney. My new cards for the resale membership took just a few days longer than the one purchased direct. Two weeks should be close in either case.

We added on about a year ago and those are the ones I remember taking two weeks. The original bought 6 years ago direct and I really don't remember. But I know we bought months before our first visit as owners so I wasn't concerned about it.

Thanks everyone...our trip is in June, so we still have time. I just didn't know how long to wait before I call and request them. I don't want to come up short on time to request them at the last minute, if it takes several weeks to get them. Hopefully they will come this week!

Member cards are processed in batches so sometimes it can take awhile.

You can also get them printed at SSR, BLT, BWV and AKV last I heard.
