Transfer times getting shorter

[philemer]

I bought a resale contract in Dec. and the final paperwork was sent to Wyndham the first week of January. I logged into my account tonight and, shock of shocks, my new contract was there. I haven't received any emails or paperwork yet from Wyndham so I was quite surprised.

I think they say they have a first in/ first out policy, but I don't think they really do. I used LT transfers who sent in a transfer mid December. The last week of January they mailed a letter stating I needed to change the deed first, and then resubmit the request. Of course I lost a week by the time it arrived at my house. I immediately emailed them a copy of the paperwork that was sent in Dec which included a copy of the new deed, along with a copy of the $399 check showing they had cashed it one week after receipt. I called weekly for status. It took them 4 weeks to read and process the email. They then put me in line as of Feb 2, the date of my email. They refused to put me at the front of the line. They refused to acknowledge they messed up.
And, then folks like @philemer post a 7 week turn around. Sigh.

It is always possible that they pull some tansfers out of the queue for training too. I noticed this many years ago with something else unrelated to timeshare. The normal process was first in first out but those monitoring their applications would find that some had much faster turn around times. It turned out that when they were training a new employee they would grab applications from some random place in the queue and process them. So it can be hard to say if this is part of a bigger trend or a one off without a few more data points.

Thank you for this info! I bought my resale on 2/25 and it was sent to Wyndham on 3/11 for transfer. I’m anxiously awaiting its completion. I’m a new owner so I can do anything until it’s done.

Was it a CWA or CWS ownership?

CWS

anyone got any recent data point on getting their contract transferred? I'm patiently waiting.... but my patience would like some reassurance.

mine was sent off to Wyndham on 02/26 (supposedly)

I would expect in 5 months TBH. IDK, I just started a new one and we'll see, but if I get it (and any points this year) I'll be a bit happily surprised.

Did you read the 1st post here? My transfer took about 10 weeks. Patience grasshopper.

ya i knew to expect long lead time but a way to know that at least they received it would help ease my mind

I guess i have at least 3 more weeks to wait, potentially longer

I was told the timeline is about twelve weeks from the point they receive the paperwork. I have no idea how accurate that is.

 

[jksung5295]

the closing company was kind enough to call Title Services at Wyndham and they confirmed they have the paperwork and 5-10 more weeks out from completing transfer. It's been 7 weeks so far so it looks 12-15 weeks (3-4 months) does look accurate.

I had mine way earlier than expected........about 9/10 weeks. I expected much worse--but to be honest, it was pretty painless.
