Assistance with Confirming my Point Status

[bevotex]

I am normally pretty good at this, but thought another set of eyeballs would be helpful. Here is my sitation. I have 210 points with a June UY.

I currently have 60 points coming to me in June 2010. I do not have any June 2009 points. I have 210 points coming in June 2011 and the same in 2012.

In June 2011, we are planning a family vacation for the extended family, so I will need more points than I would normally need to book the trip. In June 2011, I need approximately 300 pts to book the vacation and rooms I need.

This is what I think:

Come June 1, 2010, I can bank the 60 points for my June 2010 UY. I will utilize my June 2011 points (210 pts) and banked 2010 pts (60 pts) for the ressie and borrow (30 pts) from June 2012.

Thanks in advance.

Hi..I don't think you even need to worry about banking those 2010 points. They are good until June 2011. If the trip is in June 2011 you can just book the trip in July at 11months and call it a day

You have it exactly right with your banking and borrowing plan.

Um, I disagree. If you are receiving the points in June 2010, don't they expire on May 31, 2011 if they aren't banked? I see two ways you could make the reservation... either by banking the 60 from 2010 and then borrowing from 2012... OR, you could use the 60 this year for a quick weekend trip and borrow the entire extra amount you need from 2012.

That's correct. To use the June 2010 points for a stay in June 2011, they have to be banked or expire 5/31/11.

And you must bank them by the end of January (four months from the end of your UY). So if you wait until May to bank them to use them in June, they will be lost.

but if she is calling at 11 months to book her trip this July, she won't have to bank in January because when she makes her reservation, the CM will just use those points first (ie bank, then use) ...this is how we did it for our trip this past January..if the trip is next June..she won't need to bank in January bc the trip will already be booked.

The OP has a June UY and is making a reservation for June 2011. Those 2010 points would expire May 31, 2011 if they don't bank them.
