Banking Points Q from Newbie

[DisneyFirstTimer10]

So I swear I had this all figured out last week and now Im panicking- Just to clarify.... My use year is December

So today I received my Dec 2014 points and my account also now shows my 2015 points.....

I used some of the 2014 points already for our upcoming May 2015 vacation- the remaining points- 50- do not need to be banked till July correct???? Once I bank them I can use them for a trip beginning Dec 1, 2015?

Also- In January I am booking a trip for Dec 2015 using some of the 2014 points- Do I need to bank them before booking, or will the system automatically ask if I want to bank and use those points? (like it did when I booked May 2015 and it asked if I wanted to borrow the 2014 points I would get in December)

That is correct. You need to bank any unused December 2014 points by July 31, 2015. But if you wish to use those points in your 2015 use year, they need to be banked prior to the reservation being made.

Banking windows are 8 months from the start of your UY.

If you bank 2014 points they become 2015 points that expire at the end of your 2015 UY.

You have to have the points available for the date of your stay, not the date when you made the reservation.

As others have said, you will need to bank your 2014 points to 2015 to book the December 2015 trip. You are correct in assuming they will ask you if you want to bank them when you book.

Remember though - once you bank them to 2015 UY, you can't take them back to 2014 UY. They will have to be used between December 1st, 2015 and November 30th, 2016, even if you cancel that December 2015 trip.
