Pretty sure Venture X gave me a card number immediately as well. All good options and Venture X earns 2 points per dollar.That's awesome! I started back in 2011 and still actively involved (just not blogging) but its still very lucrative.
My other suggestion would be to apply for an Amex card which will generally give you an instant card number if you are approved online when you apply. I just did this as I had to leave a $7.5k deposit with Mason title for my Poly resale contract and chose the Amex Business Gold which has a 95,000 point offer for spending $10k in 3 months. I only have $2.5k left to spend and I don't even have the card in hand yet

I just signed up for American Express Gold to get the sign up bonus (applied and paid on the same day) or you can also sign up ahead of time with Chase or Capital one that have good sign up bonus

see my post above, if you have not gotten a AMEX card bonus then this would be the best option (make sure you get the referral 90K bonus) if you have decent credit you will get the card number right away to use (this is what I did)

Has anyone with contracts submitted in the 6/25-6/27 timeframe heard anything yet? Things seem pretty quiet and responses seem to be creeping back out again.
My TL so far:
nxsteven---$78-$18804-230-OKW-Jun-315/22, 230/23, 230/24, 230/25-seller pays MF '23- sent 5/17, passed 6/5
Sent: 5/17
Passed ROFR: 6/5
Closing docs signed/notarized: 7/10
Pending next steps, which I think are the completion on contract. Then I wait for Disney to load the points, I think?

If the seller sent their closing documents also, then the title company can close. Then you wait for the contract to get loaded by MA, after that the points will get loaded by MS (you can call to speed that up after you see the contract has loaded).
You can update your status on the "Closing Time!" thread now that you are past ROFR:

There was a holiday in there. I'm sure that slowed things down a little bit.

Nice contract, too bad about the expired points but you got the sellers to pay for 2023 so that's nice.

Not only is the ROFR monster asleep, but it seems it has decided not to do anything at all now. LOL
It doesn't take much to talk me into more pointsYES - we would encourage you to do so!
. I am now going to patiently wait for the new Poly tower and maybe I get a few more than 60 
Thanks. Puzzling that they didn't do anything with them. We had our trip booked using family points for 2023 so we didn't need any this year. Plan is to roll 2023 forward and plan a trip next August/Sept with 460 total points or possibly take a shorter trip in Feb of 2023 with a few points. All depends on availability.

Of course we are almost at the end of our trip and will board the Wish soon. What does DH say last night? Remembering how much the kids liked AKL makes him think we should add on points there. I haven’t been keeping up with the ROFR thread but it seems like it might make more sense to try to add 50-100 there via resale instead of direct. Is that accurate?

It's a good time to buy AKL resale right now.

That’s about what I figured! Thank you!
I saw some BLT contracts with reduced prices which piqued my interest.
Regarding the history of MB, I recall when we purchased in June 1998, we were staying at the Boardwalk. I don’t remember how it worked exactly but they applied points for that stay and put the out of pocket cash from the hotel stay towards the down payment for the DVC contract. A twist of MB I suppose.

6/26 here as well.
We're at BCV currently (leave today
) so I was actually glad that it didn't clear while we were here, putting the onus on me not to be the wrench in the closing machinery, but now that we're heading home it needs to clear ASAP. LOLManicPixieDust
