8wks and counting for Title Transfer

I am glad to these reports of a quick turnaround time. They seem to be getting their act together since earlier this year when we completed our purchase. Congratulations to everyone on their purchases and completed transfers. Enjoy your new units.

Best regards.

Mike
 
Got an email that my account got transferred yesterday. I created a log in and can see my ownership today. However under VSN member it said NO and it shows no star options. I can only book my home resort WKV. This must be a transfer problem since all WKV is mandatory. What are the odds I can get this fixed on Saturday. I am on hold now.

May 6th to June 28th it took them 8 weeks.
 
Wow they tried to tell me that Star options wont show up in my account until July 5th because of a rescission period. I explained that I purchased resale 2 months ago and their is no rescission period. On hold again but no help. Bottom line thy took 8 weeks to put it in my name and "the transfer is not complete and they need another week because its mandatory to add the Star Options."

Not a good start with Vistana customer service.

I hope Marriott does a better job with my Hyatt resale transfer than the WKV. They were quick on the Hyatt ROFR part.

I believe all of the back office work has been transferred to Marriott so you are not dealing with the former Vistana but with the new Marriott Vacations.

That’s odd. My SOs were showing in my account same time.
 
Signing contract on SVV Key West EOY 2 bedroom Lockout. Hope it passes. ROFR, Something we Vistana owners never really worried about before. Seems like it’s going to be tough with greedy Marriott. I wish vistana was never purchased by MVG

I didn't think there was ROFR at SVV

Good to know! Lovely, since it’s a mandatory phase and I’m getting a ton of options for a few hundred bucks.
 
Yes, I haven’t had any issues. Now the Hyatt that we are closing on is my concern.

It's all about the MF, if you plan to keep it for a while

I completely understand what you’re saying. I think that’s what started me on the “get rid of HRA and buy more options in mandatory resort” road. The SVV at 95,700 options is def not as good as WKV for 148K options for same MF as SVV. But I’m not buying in at $15k. I plan on keeping them a bit, but then again, travel plans change. It’s easier to drop $500 right now than $15k. I’d much rather a WKV 2 bedroom lockout trust me lol.

Yes the buy-in price is exactly why I picked up SVV Bella and Keywest 2bedroom 81000 SO units a couple years ago.

Ok so I’m not so far off. I’m. Just questioning if I should have done two annuals instead of one and one. But 95K on top of my other 95K next year plus the 51K banked from this year. I may have an abundance of options lol. Especially when i have 3 different Europe trips next year. Either way, I’m spending less yearly on maint fees than i was with HRA and SVV annuals. So glad my HRA went very quickly.

I'm not aware of any way in which those purchases would realistically get you accommodations in Europe, or am I missing something?

I’ll have an abundance of star options because I have 3 separate trips to Europe next year not using my VOI’s. Sorry I should have clarified that.

Yup, which makes me glad I did the EOY as my 2nd ownership. Having two annuals before that with banking one was starting to add up.

Star Options showed up in account today
 
Now they tell me it will be anther 60 days before I get an II number assigned.
 
The II account was about six weeks for ours to be setup or have any new ownerships added to it.
 
I just received a II package for our WKV.
 
I submitted a transfer request directly to the title department, with recorded deed attached, on June 20th (WKORV property). It was added to my account in July 11th (@ 3 weeks).

My recent WLR purchase just showed up in my account. Approx 4 weeks since docs sent to Vistana
Click to expand...
I just want to make sure I understand, Vistana transferred one contract in 2 weeks and a second one in 4 from the moment they received the transfer docs?

I am waiting for a WLR contract to be transferred; I am told Vistana received the docs from Chicago title on June 27th, the closing company emailed them on June 21st. I did not know an email can take that long! Vistana told me Yesterday I should expect 6-8 weeks from June 27th. I felt the person on the phone had now idea of the real progress, she was just giving me a standard answer.
 
yes, it was approx 4 weeks from when the closing companies received my notarized documents. I was surprised to see it showing up on my vistana account
