borrowed points/can't bank any ideas?

[jennz]

I'm not sure we can do anything here...we had to cut our April trip short by a day so we cancelled one night and now have 11 points that were borrowed that have to be used by the end of our use year - May! New year starts in June. While we do have a trip planned on June 1 - 8, don't the 11 points need to be used by May 31st? We have no points to use or borrow to use to for the night of the 31st, a Saturday night.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Go a day early, rent them, give them away or let them expire would seem to be the most obvious choices with a few related options that are more complicated.

Yep, those are the obvious choices and what I came up with, was just hoping someone had a different idea that I overlooked.

What time are you checking out? If you have a later flight you can utilize the room past 11am if you were going to lose the points anyway.

Awesome idea - thank you so much!! Our flight leaves at 7:40. Thanks!

Sorry don't think that will work as the points hve to be used by May 31 as you stated in your first post. Could you go a day earlier and leave a day earlier and combine the last days points with the ones to reserve the Saturday night. Guess that would only work if you are driving though and if there is availability. Could you rent enough (transfer) to make the Saturday reservation if there is availability if someone is willing to transfer only a few points. Good luck.

I could be wrong but if you have a MAY use year, your points should expire the last day of april. It's my understanding that you will be allocated new points the first day of may.
