I am not sure if this is the new norm or not, but on Feb. 26 we made the inquiry and eventual offer to buy a new (ahem, resale) BWV contract.
Today, April 1st, our points showed up! That means barely over a month, and we closed, and Disney deposited our points. (And no, this is not an April fools joke.)
Perhaps that new $500 fee Disney charges mean they are moving quicker? Not sure, but not complaining!!!
The one part about getting the points so quickly is they are calling to us. (But we have a trip in August already, and then will use the new points for May 2027.)
