"Welcome Home" Call

[LuigiSpice]

Is there any point in setting this up? I mean there is nothing they are going to tell me that I haven't already learned from this forum right?

I just did the call last week and if you did your diligence on purchasing there really is nothing for you. All your questions could be answered on the boards.

 

[LuigiSpice]

That's what i assumed. Thanks.

 

[Marv_barr]

No problem.

Did mine yesterday and I already knew everything he told me. He did remind me that I have 6months from my closing date to book my “Welcome Home” Stay if I’m unable to find a booking myself (except for GCV or GFV).

I thought I read everything there is to read.. But I never heard of the Welcome Home Call. Where do I find out more about this? I searched it but it gave me a whoops error.

Thanks!

I just purchased and it was on one of my welcome emails. Basically just to give you all the info you should have researched before buying.

I didn’t see an email but it was on the bottom half of the “just a reminder” page of the purchasing paperwork. During the call he did ask me how I knew about scheduling the appointment so maybe they are trying to figure out what’s the best communication method.

Ohh I didn't get my welcome email yet. Thanks, I'll be sure to look for it when I do get it.

Can you explain this "welcome home stay" thing?

I just learned of it myself in another thread. Basically they'll find you an available room if you can't find one to make sure your first experience is a good one. That could involve pulling from the cash inventory, or something else.

It only applies to new owners who bought direct and need help securing a room within the 7 month window or less.

 

[LuigiSpice]

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind. January is my 7 month time

They cannot pull one from cash inventory, but they do have (some, sometimes) rooms that don't show in the regular inventory. When I did mine (2 years ago), with ~4 months notice, they couldn't get me my top 5/6 resorts (including home resort, which was CCV. I ended up with rooms I could have booked on my own.

So anyway, YMMV... but it's not like if you see a room available for cash stay, they can get it. But they will help as much as they can.
