Banking & two resorts...

[lenshanem]

Just did an add on! I asked my guide about this, and I want to make sure I got this right...
Got 200 BCV, 60 VWL same use year... As far as banking goes I combine them together, yes? Sooo, 100% banking would be 260, 50% would be 130, etc. In other words - I don't have to consider the 60 VWL as a separate banking number?

So when we close I can still bank the 60 VWL points despite the 100% banking window being passed cause it is grouped in with my other BCV points.

I think I'm confusing myself!

Yes, you have it right.

 

[Caskbill]

Yes, as long as you understand that total banking percentages are cumulative. Thus at the 50% window, you could bank up to 130 points if you didn't have any points already banked.

However, if you've already banked some points, that reduces the total.

If you've already banked your 200 BCV points, then you cannot bank any of the new VWL points.

If you've already banked 100 of your BCV points, then at the 50% window you could only bank 30 of your new VWL points. If you banked 100 BCV points already, and you're at the 25% window, you could not bank anything.

If you haven't banked any points at all, then you could bank all 60 of your VWL points as late as the 25% window.

This is new news to me! Of course when you stay in borrow mode as much as we do, I don't have to worry about banking guidelines too much!

Shan, I take it you were able to get the VWL points with no wait? Congratulations on your add-on!

 

[lenshanem]

Thanks ErinC!

Yep, I called and was told basically to forget BCV December use year. I didn't like the thought of giving them $500 and paying the higher price with such a long wait...

So I asked about VWL and VOLIA! We opted for 60 instead of 50 so we can at least get 5 nights in a studio low season, plus we got the $89 price.

We're pretty excited. VWL is really our true love.

HEY JASON! Long time no chat. How was your trip???

Yep, we can finally call VWL home.

Shan,
I was just curious - With your add on, did you get December 04 points or have to wait until Dec 05 for points?

 

[lenshanem]

lizziepooh, I get December 2004 and December 2005 points...

That's great!! Congratulations!
