9 points -- what can I do with them?

[mintwax]

I have 9 remaining points. The points expire January 31. I won't be able to go to WDW before they expire. I was thinking of buying one-time use points and getting a room for one night through RCI. But it doesn't seem worth it when you factor in the $95 fee for the reservation plus the cost of the points. Any other suggestions?

Transfer them to someone.

I wish I could transfer them. But I already had a transfer in that use year.

Bank them unless you are past the deadline

Book jan weekday value AKL studio at 9 pts/night. There's currently 4 days with availability (jan 4, 14 (?), 19 (?), and 20- I looked quickly so the dates are a guess. Then rent that day out to someone for $70-90!! At least you don't waste or lose the points completely!

Suebeelin has a great suggestion. One option I have suggested to members about to lose a few points is to book whatever they can and donate the night(s) to Give Kids the World. This is a fabulous charity and the most charming village a few miles from Disney and they grant wishes to very sick children and their families who wish to visit WDW. I think you could possibly use that donation as a tax write off as well perhaps? I hate to see anyone just lose their points. They are just too precious.
