We don't have a lot of time to travel and have booked a May 2016 trip in a AKV value , using up 130 points. That leaves some points, that we had banked into 2015, that we will have to use by Sep 30, 2016.
We are unlikely to get time off to use those points and can not add days to our May 2016 trip. But I also don't want to see those pets go to waste. Our options are:
1. either rent/transfer those points,
2. or switch our May 2016 ressie at the 7-month mark to something requiring around 160 puts, just to use up those points (and potentially needing to borrow from 2016). Then I'm dealing with having to cancel it and book something else I like right after.
To help make this decision, how likely is it to rent just a few points? I don't want the headache of doing my own rental and will likely use a broker. I also prefer to not have to give up points from my 2016 use year. I am prepared to give them up now to give others a chance to use 7-11 months in advance.
