Borrowing Points Question?

[Desnik]

I don't know why I am always confused about this!LOL Could someone please help me figure this out?
I have a June use year. No points left in June '09 or June '10 use year. I have in my June '11 use year 150 SSR points and 50 AKL points. If I wanted to book a trip at BLT for March 28th through April 1st 2010, is that possible with borrowing? I know it probably won't be available cause it's a holiday week, but I would like to try anyway just incase.

You may borrow points into the year immediately preceding ( 2011 UY allotment into your 2010 UY )

BUT dates of your trip must fall within this Use Year in order for MS to allow the borrowing to take place and unfortunately your trip comes BEFORE your 2010 Use Year begins - it is during your
2009 Use Year so you will not be allowed to borrow in your June 2011 UY points for this trip :

because the trip takes place during your June 2009 Use Year; 2009 UY which covers dates from June 1 2009 through May 31 2010......for this trip you could have used borrowed 2010 UY points but not 2011 UY points because those only could be borrowed for a trip
between June 1 2010 - May 31 2011 ( which is during 2010 Use Year )

Thanks for the quick response!!!

So, if I want to go to WDW in 2010 and borrow 2011 points, my trip would have to be after May 31, 2010. Is that correct? Sorry I am such a spazz today!

Yes you've got it 2011 UY points may be borrowed for travel between June 1 2010 and May 31 2011.

Best wishes on your planning

I don't know if this will help, but when I am trying to figure it all out, the first thing I do is figure out what UY my TRIP will take place.

Once that is known, then I figure out what points I can use to "pay" for the trip since you can used "banked" points from the previous year, current points, and borrow from the next UY.

I also have a June UY. I am traveling next summer, August 2010. I know that is in my 2010 UY--so I can use banked "2009", 2010 points, and "borrowed" 2011 points.

In your case, your trip is part of your June 09 UY. That means you can pay for it with "banked" 08 points, 09 points, and "borrowed" 2010 points.

To borrow 2011 points, you must travel during the 2010 UY (which is June 1st, 2010 - May 31st, 2011).

Good luck!

Thank you both so much!!!
I used up all my points for family members for our vow renewal at WDW this November. But now I want to plan our 2010 trip and am left with no points!LOL I need another add on!!

IF you do not want to do another add on just snag some transfer points (unless you figure you are going to run short all the time).
