CONGRATS! & "Welcome Home".
The folks on these boards have a wealth of information, and are most often friendly in their advice!
I am a very happy DVC Owner (who once believed I would never, ever buy a "timeshare")

So many thanks to CarlyMouse and others for walking through the steps of getting a Membership ID through Membership Administration. Super easy and pleasant experience. The attendant there told me that it was taking 2-3 business days for points to load in. Hoping they'll be in on Tuesday of next week. So close to booking our first trip as DVC members! It feels like a long time since we made that offer in July, but the end is definitely in sight now!

Points loaded today! I'm really glad we didn't have buyer's remorse at some point, since this did take almost 3 months from start to finish. Nope! We are so excited!!
Second Honeymoon, here we come! Kids, you can come along next time. Are we terrible parents? Don't answer! LOL!!

I received a phone call this morning from a guide we are working with to buy a small direct contract. He had seen where the resale contract posted and that we had a membership ID now. He was calling because our direct waitlist had a different UY and did we want to change the waitlist to the same UY as our resale. I hadn't thought about it but a different UY generates a different membership number and that's not what we want. So we said we did. He said I could call MS and get our number and activation code to log in. Our old login wouldn't work. So I called. She gave me the new number, saw the contract was there with the right amount of points. But I had to clear my cookies on my computer because it kept trying to use former information. So I see the contract, can look for reservations but no points yet.

Quick question...we’ve gotten the envelope with the welcome letter and the magnets yay! But there’s no member number on the letter? It says I can go on the website for the identification but is there a second mailing coming with that? Or did we not get it and I need to call now? Thanks!

No there is no second mailing - the instructions are inaccurate/incomplete - you’ll need to call to activate your account. At least that was my experience several years ago when I bought my first contract.
Congrats1

Gamom; have these points shown up yet? I'm curious to see how many days in total it takes you from the time of your offer to the time of points available.

Have to say I'm rather impressed with the level of service and timeliness of everything. Closing 11 days after ROFR is much faster than I was anticipating.

Now just can't wait to be official DVC members and book that first trip!

Saw deed on OC on 10/5. Called MA on 10/11 and they said contract hadn’t been changed owners. Is this typical? Hoping to load acct soon so we can book June before 7 month window and preferably before 10/16 ticket changes.

Sure, it went faster than I thought it would, seemed like a best case scenario really.

Staying at Beach Club next June, so we were very happy to get the points ahead of the 7-month window. Will be our first time actually staying there, but between the pool and the location we are so excited!
