Points Not Being Added to My Membership - 2017 Dues Not Paid

[hayesdvc]

I was looking to DVC for help today to determine why points have not been added to my existing membership yet (resale closed several weeks ago). I called this morning and the Admin office was very helpful.

They determined the reason was the 2017 dues have not been paid yet and I needed to call the title company.

I did not pay the 2017 dues as part of final payment/closing. I will certainly get the use of the 2017 points, however, I cannot pay them to Disney to get my new points since this contract of points is not mine yet. My contract stated I would be responsible. I did not question the closing cost since the contract closed PRIOR to the amounts for the 2017 dues being released. I assume I would just pay these dues in the normal course of business with my other dues.

I wanted to post this prior to my call to the title company.

Any thoughts ?

We closed on an add-on contract last week. After recording, the title company told us that the 2017 dues would need to be paid before we could close. They gave us a phone number for DVC, and we contacted them and paid by credit card. The points were transferred in about two days later. Our contract did state that we would be responsible for 2017 dues. Check your contract to see who is responsible for those dues. Best wishes and happy New Year's to you!

Common sense finally prevailed. DVC pulled the contract showing my name as the purchaser. They allowed me to pay the 2017 dues, additional contract set up and points allocated.

We just closed on a contract. In the final bill was the cost of the points we purchased, plus the amount for 2017 annual dues. I was surprised to see it there, but it also made it easy to be sure it was paid and not run into your situation.

One would think that DVC would run like a finely oiled machine since they have so many years of experience in this business but often they act like newbies.

Good news! Enjoy!
