Banking language is confusing

[Tamar]

Okay, I'm really not a dope, and I've read the same 2 sentences 5 times and I'm still not sure....so I need some help

We have a deadline for banking our Dec points coming up on May 31. It says we can bank 100% of our points if we do it by then. It also says we can bank 50% of our points by Aug 31.

So....here's the question. If we bank 90% of our points this month, and then figure out we don't need the other 10% until next year, can we bank that 10% by August 31? Or, because we've already banked over 50% of the points, are we prohibited from banking any more in the May 31-Aug 31 window?

The deadlines amounts are cumulative. If you have already banked 50% (or more) by the 100% deadline, you won't be able to bank any more later. The %'s are based on your total contract points- not on the remaining current points.

If you bank 90% by May 31, you won't be able to bank more later. I'd bank them all if there is any doubt and then just borrow from the next Use Year if you later find that you'd like to use some points. (Just remember that borrowing is not a reversible procedure, so don't do that unless you're certain you will use the reservation.)

Enjoy!

Thanks Doc. We have a BWV preferred view booked for Nov, and are waitlisted for a std view. I was hoping if the std view came through after May 31, I could bank the points we'd be saving. Sounds like I can't so we will be committed to the preferred view if the waitlist doesn't come through in the next few weeks.
