Can someone check my math?

[DVCPAM]

MS is closed and I have confused myself beyond belief!

My use year is March.

I started with 240 pts in 2002. banked 240 =240 use by 2/28/04

received 240 more on March 1, 2003 =480

used 270 in April 2003 =210

banked 210 =210 use by 2/28/05

received 240 more on March 1, 2004 =450

will use 270 in December 2004 =180

That 180 points has to be banked and then has to be used by 2/28/06, right?
Other than that am i all set? We weren't planning on going in 2005 and I want to make sure we won't be losing any points.

Thanks for any help you can give!

That sounds right- as long as MS has used the banked points first each year for reservations made.

I always re-verify my point totals with each call to MS and check that the number of points agrees with my calculations.

Any remaining points from the Mar, 2004 Use Year are good until Feb 28, 2006 if you bank them. In this case, you have until August 31 to bank the 180 points. (After that date you can only book up to 120 points.)

Enjoy!

My math says yours is absolutely correct!

Do make sure that MS always uses the banked points first for any reservation.

I always ask for a quick review of my points status at the end of every reservation/banking phone call. If MS doesn't agree with what I was expecting, it can get straigntedned out right then and there.

Well that's two times in a row I have lost the "who can post first" contest to WebMaster Doc. Maybe I better visit another board for awhile, LOL!

At least I'm mostly posting the same things!

Agree with the others regarding the math.

Here is link to a program that I use to manage our two contracts. It is very handy.

We also use Caskbill's programs to plan trips.
