11 Month Question

[cav4pa]

If you have 100 points at Bay Lake and 100 points at Polynesian, would you be able to reserve a 200 point vacation at Bay Lake 11 month prior or not until 7 months??

Thanks for your helpl

Your points retain their home resort advantage so no combining points. You can book 100 pts at BLT at 11 months and 100 pts at the Poly at 11 months. If you are in that scenario, it may be a good idea to look into banking/borrowing to achieve the 200pts at 11 months for each resort.

From what I understand, if you need to combine the 100 BL and 100 Poly points together to make your reservation, then you have to wait until you hit the 7 month mark.

If you were allowed to combine at 11 months you could buy less expensive 200 SSR points and 25 VGF points and book a VGF reservation with 225 points. Why by more VGF points?

Only if you had 100 banked points + 100 current year points from BLT, or 100 current year points and borrowed 100 next year points from BLT.

You can't combine resorts at 11 months. You can combine at 7 months.

Alternatively, if your trip straddles a weekend and weekdays, you could book the harder part of the trip to book (probably the weekend) with BLT points at 11 months, and roll the dice on the remainder of the trip at 7mo and book the weekdays with Poly points. Ie book a split stay in 2 parts, and then link the reservations after. Or, as above, better idea might be do bank or borrow BLT points so you have 200 BLT points to book with at 11 months.
