We are waiting on Vistana to recognize a resale purchase. The deed was filed back in November. Anyone know the timeline here lately to recognize a new resale owner?

Thanks.

When you say the deed was filed, do you mean that it was filed with the county or sent to Vistana.
 
The deed was filed with the county in November. Not sure of the exact date when the closing company sent it to Vistana.
 
I think lately it’s been running around 8 weeks. We did a transfer around the same time last year (Oct 30) and it showed up in our account shortly after the new year. Officially, I think they are working with a 90 day estimate - but it’s usually a little faster.

I’d email them if it isn’t showing up after 8 weeks (titlechanges@mvwc.com). They are pretty responsive and can give you a better estimate.

If you used LTT, they get it out within a few days; it’s all done electronically now.
At one point there was a 12 week turn around from Marriott receiving the deed. I transferred 6 Marriotts in 2025.
Mid 2025, they seem to have acquired more staff and the turn around became 4-5 weeks.
Your time period has 3 holidays so that definitely slows things down along with end of year rush.
 
I hope it transfers soon. I am a little worried about our platinum Interval account not showing a home resort. We sold our Marriott Branson when my husband was going thru prostate cancer (cancer free now).IMG_0607.jpeg Take a look at this postcard from Interval.

Are that Willow Ridge week enrolled in the MVC points program (Abound)?
 
It wasn’t enrolled.
That’s interesting - when I added a few weeks to my personal II account, they removed my WSJ Coral Vista HomeOptions unit which I had sold. I wanted to keep it to use for Vistana searches.
In the past, when I have added weeks to my account, they did NOT remove any ownerships.
If I wanted one removed, I had to specifically ask to do so.
 
It wasn’t enrolled.
Interesting. I was unaware that Marriott was notifying II when you sold a week and thus deleting it from an individual II account. Perhaps now that they are part of the same parent company they are sharing more information.
 
We recently added on resale and direct contracts with Disney Vacation Club, too. I don’t know if that had anything to do with the corporate member wording in that post card from Interval or not? When I first log into our personal platinum Interval account I can see the DVC corporate Gold Interval memberships listed (we have 2 memberships with DVC). Our platinum Interval account now shows no resort owned since they deleted the Marriott Branson.

When you say log in to your personal platinum account, are you just using one login username and password and then are presented with different accounts that you can select from?

Yes. Three membership boxes pop up. If I click on one of my two DVC gold corporate memberships, it directs me to the Disney Vacation Club site to log into DVC.
 
Can you still see your platinum membership? Is that the third box?

Also, can you maybe clarify whether the resale you purchased in Vistana is a mandatory unit or not? If it is mandatory you’ll get a corporate II account with VSN, so it wouldn’t go into your existing platinum account anyways.

Yes, I can still see the platinum membership (it is the first box). The Vistana resale is not mandatory.

I can still see our old pre-Abound individual II account that had our weeks before enrollment. It hasn't been active since 2012. I've asked II if they could remove that from our screen after logging in but they said they can't.

I've got a similar thing with a freebie account that II gave to us with our SDO before we did the retro. The SDO unit got moved over to the corporate account but we still have the indivdiual account sitting there. I still get discount offers to renew/upgrade it to Gold/Platinum and can see all of the Getaways even though the membership expired in 2019 and there is nothing else there. When I go to book a getaway it tells me they will add the membership fee to my booking. I haven't tried going past that stage, but it looks like you could still use the account without an actual unit in the account if you're willing to pay the membership fee.

Then I think you should be able to add it to the existing platinum account. You'll have to wait until the transfer is done and even then it may take awhile until it gets into your II account. We had to wait around an extra six weeks after it showed up in Vistana before it was in our II account. It may be faster if you are requesting it going into an individual account though (ours was a mandatory property).
