Closing Time!!

So seeing recorded dates of 10/6 and 10/7 showing up in accounts on dates 10/18 and 10/19 respectively drove me slightly crazy. I have a 10/8 recorded date. Really thought I was going to see my 10/8 show up this week in my account, but it has been a no show.

So this is my obligatory post to complain, so it will magically show up Monday!

IT WORKS! My CCV contract showed up today. Just waiting for points on that one now.

That's a wrap for my contracts this year (and maybe ever...)! I included my BCV add-on to show that the last two steps were much more speedy for my last two contracts. Not as fast as in prior years' add-ons, but I'll take it! Both of the last two took 13 days to load onto my membership as opposed to 24 days with my BCV. Points were added in three days "naturally" without bugging MS to add them instead of the ten it took with BCV.

And we had a FANTASTIC surprise when our CCV points were added last Friday. I had purchased the contract without full points for 2020 knowing I was banking to 2021 anyway. I felt like it helped me get a great deal on the contract... Well Friday I discovered we somehow actually had the full 2020 allotment of points even though I only paid for dues on 115 (the contract is 175 points), and on top of that we ended up with 62 banked points from 2019!!! So we received 122 points more than were expecting!! I almost feel guilty for the deal we got on this contract. I had to share here with people who might understand my excitement as my family was less than enthused. 😒 Thanks for reading my fun points story! It was an unexpected blessing on a day we ended up having to replace our hot water heater. 💰💰💸💸

Wow! That was super fast from appearing to points. Did you call to get them loaded or did you get a bit of Magic there?
I was surprised. I got an e-mail saying the contract had been transferred and to allow 7-10 days for points to show.
The next day, I logged on to check something else and did a double take when I saw that the points had already been loaded.

I see that it worked for you, but I will not tempt the fate of the ROFR whisperers! :earboy2:
Even though I'm at day 41, :snail:and would like to know, :surfweb: I will not "complain"!!!!
But it would be really really nice if I heard soon, and it was Good News !
(pretty good pleading, eh)?
 
Woooohooooo! Points in account the next day. Did not call or anything. One contract down, one to go!

Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the points in my account on the same day we received our membership email.

80 days total from start to finish, we had some very small delays (our own doing) due to time zone differences and also with the payment we hung on a couple of days due to the dollar rising to help us a bit, but everything else was very smooth.

Now we just need to hope we can travel soon.

That's far too long in ROFR for my nerves.
Our deal was sent on 8/11 too and Passed on 9/14 or 34 days. Our new account showed on membership today. Good luck
 
Finally passed ROFR on our 3rd contract attempt. Didn’t think it was ever going to come through but got the good news late last night. Now we wait for closing docs.

So if my deed was recorded on 10/8, should I be worried that I have not received an email about setting up my DVC account? And if I should be worried and should do something about it, what exactly would I do?
