Banked Points

[MinnieVanMom]

When I bought my 25 points at SSR they banked 25 points from 2010 because of the April use year.

I think these have to be used by March 31, 2012 but am not sure? Can they stay into April 2012 or do they have to be used?

Well, if those points were vested into the account on 4/1/10, and were then banked. They won't have to be used until 3/31/12. And on 4/1/11 you will be vested with your 25 '11 points. So those '10 points will expire on 4/1/12 if not used.

HTH

I am sorry, I don't understand. I bought them early this month. The guide banked them for me. He said they can do that because they are DVC.

So I bought, they banked the 2010 points. So as of April 1 I have 50 points. 25 banked and 25 in the UY.

So I think I have to use the 2010 points. Dang, yet another trip to disney.

>>>that's right

So I bought, they banked the 2010 points. So as of April 1 I have 50 points. 25 banked and 25 in the UY.

>>>Yes.

So I think I have to use the 2010 points.

>>>Member services should always prompt you when you go to make a reservation to use any banked points first in the process of making the reservation. I think we're saying the same thing here. You can and do have the 50pts you mention above as of 4/1/11. You can use the 25 that were banked into the '11 UY thur that UY.

Am I saying this in a way that makes sense to you?
