Can I transfer points to myself?

[keishashadow]

So to clarify - if I need a few extra points to book a res @ 11 month window, I need to have transferred points (same as my home resort) in my account before I make the res.

Does this scenario work:

1. With current points @ VWL, book 7 night res @ 11 month window.

2. Borrowing next UY points @ VWL, book 1 night res @ 11 month window, linked to 1st res.

3. @ 7 month window, if available, book 1 night with current BWV points & cancel 1 night res @ VWL.

I assume that the "borrowed" VWL points returning into my account then could not be banked or transferred?

I was disappointed to find that DVC, within the 25 minimum point add-on, won't let you purchase the few extra points to "fill-out" a resale, in addition to your new add-on.

This will work with any points at the 7 month window as long as they end up in the right use year or you bank them when needed. You lost me on the last part. DVC will sell you 25 points or more including 26, 27, etc. They will not sell you 25 at OKW and 10 at BCV for example to make 35 and they shouldn't. Frankly, I'm surprised they sell 25 points at all or that they allow resale buyers to add on directly, most companies want. But I guess that's one of the things that puts DVC ahead.

We're just trying to bring our original resale contract (odd amount) to where we have enough points to cover our anticipated usage each year w/o borrowing. We added on just enough points to cover our current usage @ BWV. We're operating on a cash basis with our DVC purchases so we want to try and keep our points lean & mean.
