Add on with Different UY

[ScottakaMickey]

If I have a Feb UY and want to add on through Disney at a different Resort with a Dec UY, does Disney allow this?

To change your use year to a new one for an add on, I believe you would need to purchase a new contract which means a minimum of 160 points. That's how it used to be, anyway. I would call your Guide and check it out.

No. All 'add-ons' MUST be the same UY as the base contract.

However, you may buy another UY, but it will be a different membership # and different contract #. And, if buying directly from Disney, it must be at least the minimum number of points (160).

Thanks for response, its kind of what I thought. Unfortunately calling my guide is not an option as he refuses to return phone calls, long story.

Is there a compelling reason why you would prefer a Dec UY over a Feb UY? Your UY is really only an issue if you have to cancel a trip. If you regularly go to WDW in Dec or Jan, then a Dec UY would be better than a Feb UY but it's not clear that it would be worth getting a completely separate master contract (vs. an add-on) just for that reason. You would be giving up the option of pooling your points to make a reservation and for banking purposes if you go with a new master contract.

Lisa, it is really me trying to maximize a benefit of doing an add-on. If I did an add at SSR with a Dec UY, it would give me additional points, i.e. 06 points, double developer points, and then in Dec 07 points. But since I have a Feb UY on my master and I did an add at SSR I would only get 07 points plus double developer points. I only wanted to do an add of 100, so the extra master is not something that I see worth it. Grant it, its just a 100 points, but hey points are points. LOL
