Closing Time!

It's been more than two weeks since our deed was recorded, and still crickets from DVC. Has anyone had any luck contacting DVC directly to get their membership number and activation code processed? I'm hoping we'll get it either this evening or tomorrow morning, as that would be 16 days...
So frustrating

I'm in the process of buying 2 resale contracts. While the narrative is "it might take long, Disney will take their time, they do want to discourage resell, you are not their priority, they do what they want when they want, etc."... So far in my experience the delays were not caused by Disney, but by the sellers, brokers and title companies. The brokers with lower priced listings seem to be more inclined to not be able to fill out a form without typos. I guess the delays are the price we pay for saving money.
I'm getting frustrated and I start telling myself no more resell. But then I look at the direct prices and I end up back on the resellers websites.

Well this one was not as much fun as the first one. This was two contracts from the same seller in one close. I could see the contracts in the dues section of my membership login and also in my point addon tool but not in my dashboard or points screen. After multiple calls to members services I sent a email to the member satisfaction team on 9/6/22 saying I was a bit concerned with what was going on. They got the contracts showing on 9/7 and then I got a call from a supervisor with that team today who was able to load the points..... I'll be back sometime in the future I'm sure :)
 
Just a heads up for anyone waiting! I was on the phone with an awesome cast member named Paul yesterday, and a lot of the DVC reps are actually at d23 in California right now. So that might be causing a little bit of a delay. :)

Just got the update that my contract closed today. Do I just check the Orange Co website listed on the first page of this thread to know when it’s been recorded and start the clock on when I expect the membership info?

It can take a few days to show there but it’s a good way to keep track of the timeline!!
 
I'm already back. :rolleyes:

Does it do any good to call member services about the member ID and activation code? We are on day 15 post closing and just waiting for the membership info and points. Has anyone found it helpful to call and check or just a dead end?
 
How long do you give the sellers to send in their paperwork before you reach out to the broker? I was hoping that this would be a quicker close and maybe I’m just being impatient, but I’ve reached out to the title company and they haven’t had any contact from the sellers.

If you call and your member ID isn’t ready they will tell you to wait. My deed was recorded on 8/25 still nothing.

I emailed members@disneyvactionclub.com as well with no response
 
1 month since I returned closing docs. 6 more days to the deadline (9/13). Then it’s closed…or Bust:

Any updates?
 
So the email with the activation code FINALLY came, but I am a new member, so I don’t have a Club ID number…. Argh! (It also had a broken link to a new member information page.) I did try to call and my CM was curt and basically said I need to be patient. Should I expect another email with the ID number?

Oh, and I sent an email to an address I found here on Disboards. I just got an automated reply that they will get back to me within 10 business days! What the heck, man?!?
