Holding Points and Year End question

[CarolA]

OK. As the Queen of late booking and cancellation I have 23 holding points that expire in March. Two quick questions that I should know but forgot:

1. If my use year is March I have to use these by 2/28? right?

2. Since I am in the last four months of my use year I can't use them for Disneyland can I?


Hmm... wonder if I can find a few days in Jan or Feb?

From the member website:
What you need to know about using Holding Account Vacation Points: You can use these Vacation Points for a new Disney Vacation Club Resort reservation during your current Use Year as long as you book the reservation 60 or less days before the new check-in date.


These Vacation Points can be used for an exchange during your current Use Year in two ways:

For The Disney Collection (except Disneyland® Resort hotels in California), Concierge Collection or Adventurer Collection if you're making the reservation more than 4 months before the end of your Use Year for a check-in date that is 60 or less days away.
For Disneyland Resort hotels in California and the World Passport Collection as long as the reservation is booked 60 or less days before the new check-in date.

These Vacation Points cannot be banked or borrowed.
These Vacation Points must be used to complete travel by the end of the Use Year or they will expire.

Thanks. I had just found that. Plus they expire 2/28. I have a business trip to California. May look into spending a night at Disney!

And you won't get charged the $95 fee if you use them at a Disneyland Resort.

Well, Disneyland Resort is out. I looked at those point charts.... I would have to borrow more points and I don't really want to stay there.

So I just booked two nights at OKW in a studio. Still have 7 points left. Waitlisted one more night. If not, I may just lose the 7.
