A question I should know the answer to……🙄😏

Sorry to be thick, but can I ask a question. My use year is August. I already borrowed some (not quite half) of my 2022 allocation and the rest obviously becomes current on 1st August. Can I book (within the booking window) now using these points, given that I have already borrowed the allowed 50% from my upcoming use year? Am I to understand that the points are only seen as borrowed at the start of the actual stay. I know I should know this (member for for nearly 15 years), but this 50% borrowing rule is confusing me. Thank you for any advice xx __________________

Good news! After the scheduled maintenance today the borrowing restrictions have been lifted. You can borrow all your 2023 points now if you so desire

If you borrowed from the Aug 2022 use year, which runs Aug 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023, any such borrowed points are in your Aug 2021 use year. are deemed borrowed the moment you did the borrowing (i.e., deeming them borrowed is not delayed until the start of the trip reserved with those borrowed points) and must be used for a trip that ends no later than July 31, 2022. Points that are still left in that Aug 2022 use year could also be borrowed now but also only for a trip that ends by no later than July 31, 2022. If you are asking about making a reservation for a trip during your Aug 2022 use year, you could book that now (subject to the 11 or 7 month window) using points that are still in the Aug 2022 use year (which would be the "current" use year points for that trip) and, if needed, borrow points from the Aug 2023 use year.

Your august 2022 points are valid for stays from august 1, 2022 until July 31, 2023. You use the booking window to determine when you can make a reservation to use these points. Borrowing does not impact this other than reducing the points for use in this use year. The use year is the period of time when you can use the points. The booking window is when you can make the reservation is use the points.
