Banking Points

[mickeymark34]

I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I am new to DVC, and am curious to know some things. I was wondering how the banking worked with our points. Am I able to use some of my points this year and bank the rest for next year? Or do I have to bank a full years amount of points into a following year? I would love to go down to Anaheim for the D23 Expo, and use some points to stay at the Villas while we are down there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can bank any or all of your points from the current use year to the next use year as long as you do so by no later than the end of the eighth month of your use year, e.g., if you have a Feb use year you have until end of Sep to bank any or all of your points (when counting to 8 you include that initial month). You can also bank as many times as you want during that 8 month period, e.g., bank 1/4 of the points in month 3 and another 1/4 in month 6 and you can still bank more by end of 8th month.

Thank you very much. We already used 160 incentive points to stay a week at the Grand Californian. Now, I think I want to go down to the Expo like I mentioned earlier in the thread. It is nice to know that I could use some points to stay at either the Paradise Pier, the Disneyland Hotel, or maybe at the Villas if they are available. I would not want to use all of the points, and would save the rest for next year.

After looking through the 2009 Vacation Planner, I found the information. I remember seeing it before, but the info slipped my mind. At least now I know were to find it.
