Borrowed Points Question

[TagsMissy]

Hi all... I am curious, if we want to borrow points from 2010 do we need to bring over all our points or can we just bring over the amount of points we need? We want to get a 1br for our next trip but need extra points for that.

Cheers & thanks for your input from this newbie.

You can borrow any number you like.

Points are only borrowed when the reservation is made, and they will transfer the exact number of points you need to finish the reservation.

Just remember that if you are making a reservation for travel within your '09 use year and use '10 points to finish out the reservation, those '10 points will become '09 points and can not then be banked should you need to cancel or change that ressie.

Thanks all! We may actually get a 2BR instead... what I am trying to decide now is BLT or since kids will now be involved possibly AKL Savannah view.. too many choices

Would it be wise at the 11 mos mark once I know get a 2br at home then at 7 mos if Savannah is avail change the reservation -- is that allowed?

That is allowed. The benefit of booking at 11 month and then trying to switch or waitlist is that you know you will have something. Waiting until 7 months may leave you without anything.

Be sure, though, that if you are borrowing points, you understand the difference in the two resorts since those borrowed points can't be returned. If your 2 bedroom at BLT is more than the 2 bedroom at AKL, you will end up with extra points to use that year.

Thanks! Good to know I can transfer. The points; if any lost, would be minimal so not a huge deal.

Just don't be like me and almost forget to bank the rest of your unused points in the next year!

yeah any remaining points left will be a mere handful but may as well bring them to the year after!!
