Finally! I had hope I might see action today based on the fact that they processed a 7/28 deed on Friday, but seeing the emails was even more exciting than I thought it would be. So glad to be closing in on a process that started almost 4 months ago now. They are definitely speeding up so good luck to everyone still waiting!

ETA: I'm a new member for all those that like to know.
My deed was recorded on the same day as yours so hopefully I’ll hear any day now 🤞
 
I'm already a member, so hopefully that will cut the time to get points loaded but reading the posts above it seems it's a mystery why some get loaded before others.
As you can see, my PVB caught up with my BLT timeline with the closing docs. Of course still waiting on PVB seller to return documents. It be interesting to see who finishes first. lol.

I have been reading these messages for some time, but have not posted. I just wanted to let you know what happened today so maybe others could try also. We had our deed recorded on 7/16 and then I received the membership information on 8/17 as we are new members. I had my husband call member services today 1800-800-9800 because we are in our seven months, our use year is March. He was on hold 15 minutes and then got our points added! I would try calling today as they seem to be wanting to get things done! Hope this helps someone!

I tried the other day and it did not work. I will try again.

ETA: Department that handles that only works until 5:00 pm but the CM said I could try tomorrow, but not sure if they will be able to help regardless.

Feels like waiting in line just to wait in line some more. Hopefully these last steps move quickly so we can book a trip with banked 2019 points before they expire at the end of March.

Wow - so 18 days from contract showing until points? !
 
Wow - so 18 days from contract showing until points? !
I sent 2 emails during that time with no reply. So yesterday I started a chat and was able to get them loaded. During the chat, he did mention the typically timeframe was 10-14 business days, which is different than the email of 7-10 business days. I was on business day 13.
 
I just hung up and they can’t load any points for me because they have not gotten the points information from MA to do it. The CM couldn’t even talk to anyone from MA either because they have 2 people only working on it,

So, until MA sends the back office of MS the points statement so they know what to load, I’m stuck.

Seems like its become clearer with the pandemic that this process is extremely poorly constructed from Disney's perspective. That may be intentional but it seems they for some reason need 5 different people/departments to move contracts from one person to another. I get building in some quality control to avoid mistakes but DVC's process management is clearly subpar.

Deed got recorded first thing this morning. It's all in Disney's very slow hands now.

I am not sure I agree. I just think that with this current situation and furloughed workers, plus the volume of resales that happen, they simply can’t keep up. In normal times, it’s pretty smooth and I have bought probably 6 to 8 resale contracts over time,

The frustrating part is really not getting any specifics in terms of where one is in the process and MA isn’t replying to emails either because they don’t have enough people.

Oh well, I am trying not to stress but at least I won’t be checking 3 times a day right now. I’ll wait until the end of the week and call back.

I'm seeing some with deeds recorded after/around the same time as mine go through - hopefully I will see membership info soon!

Ah, so you can't even talk to anyone then about loading points?!

What day are you on from contract loading?
