banking points ques.

[Chloe'sMom]

Our use year is December - which I hate.
So we are taking a trip in Apr. 2008 where I am using up the last of my Dec 2007 points.

We won't take another trip until Dec 2009. In which I want to use my points from 2008 and 2009. Do I need to bank the points for 2008?

Yes. I have a Dec. use year, too. A reservation in Dec. 2009 falls within that use year. If you need to use the 2008 points, too, then you need to bank them into the 2009 use year.

Since you won't be going until December, 2009, you will need to bank your points into that use year. Then you will have available to you, 2008, 2009 and (if you want to borrow), 2010 points. I found this quite confusing when I first became a DVC member, but after reading and asking questions on this board, I finally have it in my mind how to determine when and what points to use. Just keep asking and it will click with you also. Hope you have a great trip in December, 2009. We took a family trip this past December and everyone wants to make it an annual event. It was wonderful with the Grandchildren and our adult children. The weather was great and the Christmas events and decorations are just beautiful.

Enjoy!

How soon can I bank them?

Someone will confirm this, but I don't think you can bank the points until you are in your 2008 UY. So anythime after December 1, 2008, you should be able to bank into your 2009 UY.

Hey Amanda,
Why do you hate December... that is what they have available now? Still learning all this stuff....

It just gets confusing because you don't get your points until the end of the year. So if you are buying a resale it works out kind of funky at first.

Like when we bought in 2006 they had 106 pts left for 2006 and all points for 2007. So even though we didn't go on a trip until October 2007 we used our 2006 points and had to borrow from 2007. Now it is 2008 but we are going in april on our 2007 points.

I'm sure I'll get the hang out of it eventually I would just prefer to get my points in the year I am going to go.

Loved buying resale by the way! I think it is the way to go!
