Holding Acct. and Incentive Points??

[edk35]

Okay I have a question about what would happen to 100 pts. of incentive points at SSR only...if you had to cancel your trip a week out. I know that regular points go into holding but what about the incentive points?? Are they lost forever?? Thanks

I was told that developer points work the same as regular points..would go into "holding" status like regular points....

Good Luck!:goodvibes

Thanks I am not planning on cancelling but I needed to know just in case. You never know what life will throw at you. :goodvibes

Know that travel insurance only reimburses at $5 per point, but our travel window is very inflexible...If we had to cancel for a "covered reason" within the 30 days, instead of scrambling around trying to rent the points by the end of the use yr or rebook the trip(in our case probably unlikely), I will probably purchase the nominal cost of travel insurance..

If my trip was cancelled due to "covered reason" at least $5 per point would cover my dues for yr...That may be a silly way to look at it, but at least your getting something back....

According to the AIG Travel Guard Brochure, on 200 points, insurance for everyone in party is $51.50..A small nominal cost to get $1000 reimbursed if something happens to cancel the trip within the 30 day window...

Something to consider....

But, would the Travel Guard insurance pay $5 per point if they go into holding, as you haven't actually "lost" the points? I doubt it, as there is still the "possibility" you could get use from those points.

When I asked Travel Guard the question, they told me if you cancel for a "covered reason" you have the option of filing a claim for reimbursement of points, $5 per point OR REBOOKING VACATION..

Anyone else have experience with this?

Strange, as Travel Guard should NOT have access to your MS account to see if you do rebook those points in the future.
