banking points help

[heathers4um]

I have a banking question:

We have 72 points left from UY Aug 2011, and my banking deadline is in just a few days. As you can see from below, we are planning on taking a trip in late July for my step-daughters birthday but her mom is dragging her heels on working with us on dates so we havent made the reservation yet. My dilemma is this - because Mom is so uncooperative right now, I do not want to risk losing these points by not using them before their deadline, which I think must be July 2012.

Im assuming I should bank them, but I am not sure if I do that if I can use them for a trip prior to Aug 2012 (I know I can borrow 2012 points but because I only currently own 100, I would need the remaining 2011 of 72 as well). Or will I have to rearrage the dates to go in Aug to be able to utilize the banked points. And as far as borrowing, I can only borrow points from 2012, correct?

Thank you in advance for any help any one can give!

if you bank your aug 2011 pts, they move to your 2012 UY and would only be valid for stays from aug 1, 2012 to july 31, 2013. they cannot be borrowed or unbanked back into your 2011 UY and they will expire if not used for a stay by july 31, 2013.

traveling with extended family is challenging for exactly this kind of reason...

(also one of the challenges of traveling late in your UY.)

Thanks for the clarification! Since it is how I imagined it would be, I will bank and not look back. We were supposed to go last fall for F&W for my birthday again but had to cancel, and then we were going to go this month for F&G but had the bright idea to wait for the summer to celebrate DSP's birthday.

Im about ready to forget everyone else and go myself.
