Let me set the stage:
1. The wife and I purchased a 160pt Bay Lake contract and a 50pt Beach Club contract direct over the past few years.
2. We were newbies and bought the BL contract because...that's what they offered. We don't like staying there at all. But, luckily we have really not had too many issues using them at places we do like, especially OKW and Vero. We bought the BC direct so we can bank/borrow etc so every few years we can stay there. We mostly take 3-4 day trips during off times with the exception of Jersey weekend which is where we are from.
3. We considered selling the BLT and buying a a OKW contract resale so we could use the 11 month booking since we are starting to have some problems at certain times booking at the 11 month window. Not all the time, but sometimes. After working the numbers, it didn't seem like it was worth the effort to do so. We could have ended up with more OKW points for the same principal amount, but the dues would have been higher every year and the fees would have added up.
4. We just bid on a 25 point OKW contract. The idea was just to bank those and use the points when we have built up enough for when we really want to stay at OKW. Hopefully, we get it. Now..here comes my question.
Now that we will have three contracts, all with different resorts, I believe I am able to transfer the points contract to contract? If I read this correctly, I can...once a year...transfer points from my BLT contract to my OKW or BC contract so I can use all of them to book at the 11 month window? In other words, have either 185 (160BLT plus 25OKW) or 210 (160 BLT plus 50BC0 available for the 11 month booking window.
Am I reading this correctly? I'm pretty well versed in the usage of points but I did not know this if it is true.
