chartered vs unchartered

Hi. I recently requested and received a free toast host site. I had been trying to submit it as a chartered club, but it kept saying that that chartered club could not be found, when I had the chartering certificate in front of me, so I just requested it as unchartered so I could get started. I came to find out through further emails that TMI had set them up as an Online Club, which apparently doesn't show up the same way. My question is...now that I have the FTH site, does it make any difference functionality wise if it was set up as chartered vs unchartered? If there is a difference, how can I get it switched to the right kind?
thx,

Chartered vs Unchartered: It really just is a difference in how we verify the club's existence (via online information) and approve the request.

It is interesting that having an "Online" club is different somehow (w/ regards to online info about the club)... I am not aware of how the club information is different... Can you please share any relevant details you have discovered on this? I may need to make some tweaks to the website request process as a result.

Here's the relevant part of the email from someone at the New Clubs Team at TMI:

"Thank you for your email and I apologize for the oversight on our part. Club 790xxxx is chartered as an Online Club. Online clubs do not appear on the Find a Club search option. However, they do appear on our website here. I am having your club added, but it will take about 24-48 hours for the club to appear."

I'm not sure if the find a club function is how you verify... thanks for the response. I'll get going on working on the site!

Yes, we use find a club for verification for chartered clubs. Can you please tell me your club # and district #?... I want to look through available information to determine if there is another way we might be able to verify online clubs.

It is District 117. New club is 7902049.

Ok, your club does show up in the district new clubs report:
