Adding Additional Nights to Existing DVC Reservation

I have two studios at AKV booked for this August for 7 nights, but I'm looking to add an additional 4-5 nights to each reservation (so 11-12 nights for each studio). Is there an easy way to add those nights each day online? It seems as if my only options are to call MS and have them add the nights (either each day or wait a few days and do it all at once), create two additional reservations each day and merge them with the other two by calling MS, or cancel the existing reservations and book two entire new ones. Is that correct? This is my first time booking a DVC stay (we purchased the membership this past August), and I figured it would be much simpler to add additional nights.
 
You can go in and modify each online to add the days. No need to book new or call MS.

It just has to be done one studio at a time. Since you already have the first 7 booked, you can wait until you get another 4 to 5 nights in so you can add those all at once.

It can be done daily as you hit a new 11 month window, but not needed as long as you add them before the 11 month window for your current check out day.

When I went in to modify one of the reservations, it made it as if I was booking an additional 8 night stay (which would require 114 more points). It seems after I were to do that, it would cancel the existing reservation and I would get the points back. Is there an easier way to go about this where I can add the additional night without having to make a whole new reservation (spend only 14 points at once, a true modification rather than a new booking + cancellation)?

When you modify, it is like booking a new one, but it’s counting the nights you already have since it’s a modification and not new trip.

The total you see includes what you booked. So, when you follow it through, the points you have used for those nights already are part of what you will see for the booking. In the end, it will take only the new points needed.
 

Sandi is dead on. I just modified our HHI stay in May by following her steps. I've actually modified twice since the 11 month window. Once for adding more nights, as you want to do. Just follow the steps she gave. I've never had an issue modifying online.

When I went to modify, it asked to bank 14 points from 2021 or borrow from 2023, even though I still have 100 points left for 2022. Is there a way to circumvent this so that I don't have to bank or borrow? It will not let me continue unless I bank or borrow, which makes zero sense to me given I have the points available in the 2022 UY.
 
Do you have more than one contract? Could it be trying to pull from a contract that doesn't have enough points?

I only have one 300 point contract at AKV. I used 200 points from UY 2022 to book 2 studios, and want to use the remaining 100 points to add additional nights to each of those reservations.

When I do that, the system asks me to bank or borrow points, even though I still have 100 points left to use. There doesn't seem to be a way around this banking/borrowing part, on my end at least. I called MS and the CM I spoke to had no idea what she was doing and ended up borrowing my points from 2023 without my permission. Now I need to have those points returned because I did not give her permission and also book the additional night.
 
That's nuts. Hopefully you get someone who can see what's going on. It's hard for me to understand without seeing. I guess I'm lucky that I've never had any issues banking, borrowing or using our points.

My points were returned, so that has been settled. But still no CM seems to be able to book my extra night without banking or borrowing points, despite me having those 100 points available for 2022. I have no idea why this is.
 
I had a usage issue where I had the points, it took 3.5 weeks for Disney IT to fix it, but I'm back to booking online. During those 3.5 weeks, CM could even book when I called either. Best of luck getting resolution

I think I'm having the same issue. I'm on the phone with MS now and the CM is having to make all these calls to figure out the situation. I thought it would take 5-10 minutes to add the additional night and I've been in contact with MS for 2 hours now.

Then this is an issue beyond what should happen. No sure why. Will it let you add the nights as a new reservstion?

For example, try to book a new reservation for the beginning nights with your 100 points..then modify what you have to pick up the end nights?

You will end up with two and then can ask MS to merge back into one?

Not as easy because it should be taking the 100 since your trip is in your 2022 UY and the points are your 2022 points!

After speaking with another CM from MS, he said they will hold the room for the additional two nights I want and then call me when the issue has been resolved so that I can book them with my 2022 points. Hopefully this experience was a one-time occurrence, because having to wait 2.5 hours to secure additional nights is not ideal.
