Just got email from DVC, giving me a one-time activation code. But it also says I will need my club ID, which was supposedly included in my closing documents. I'm not sure what ID they are talking about. Any help?

Call member services, they can give you the rest of your login info.

Won't work. I've called twice and talked to two different people. Both said they needed my membership #, which I do not have. The only thing I have is the contract number I purchased (and the one-time activation code). Perhaps if Member Administration was open, they might be able to help, but they are not open on the weekend... :sad1:

So I guess I will have to wait until Monday, or maybe just try to be real patient to receive the DVC materials in the mail, which hopefully would be Monday or Tuesday...

Sorry that didn’t work. I guess that was what we did when we got our direct points, although our guide may have given us our member ID number, but we did end up having to call member services to get us logged in to the website. I just remember it being way more complicated than it should be.

If it helps, our member number is a 12 digit number, all numbers. Perhaps look in your documents for something like that, but honestly I don’t remember that being included on our closing docs for our resale. I have read people having success getting that info from MS before getting their welcome package from Disney. Maybe they stopped doing it, or some CM’s don’t do it while others might. Good luck, hopefully you can get in soon.

To get ours we spoke to member services and they were able to get my details using the previous owners contract no. We found this by looking up their name on the occompt site

You must have had better luck with whom you talked to because I mentioned to both MS people that I had the contract no., but they said the contract no. was of no use to them—needed membership no.

Finally getting close to the end :flower1:
 
Hey just a quick update. I received the email with my temporary password yesterday, April 18. I called today to receive my member number and Club ID (You will need the club id number to access the website). So, that was 13 days total. However, the point aren’t loaded into my account yet. THE AGONY. But, I’m super excited.
Thanks for your help! I ended up getting an email on Friday as well and called for the rest. Now if I could just get my points I will be golden!!!
 
Waiting for the seller to return docs is worse than ROFR. 12 days and counting since I returned mine.
 
Quick question, if you're already a member will it be any quicker for a 2nd contract to show up or is it still the 2 week waiting period after closing and deed being recorded?

Not sure if it goes quicker, but you won't have to call to get your account setup...
 
So when your new contract shows up in your account (before the actual points show up), where do you see it? Is it on your member dashboard--it just shows two different memberships there? Or somewhere else?

My account was also set up Friday, and points have appeared in the last hour


How long after the deed was recorded did you call for set up? I know a lot of people have asked this but I couldn't find the post I remembered reading. Trying to figure out when it would be safe to start calling.

Yes, it will appear as a new contract on your dashboard - I use the ‘manage points’ tab to see all my contracts.
