For example - if I have 150 points with 2022 UY and 150 points coming in September 2023. If I booked GFV for 2 weeks for a total of 264 for August/September 2024. And then at the 7 month mark, for argument sake, changed to AKL lodge for less points. What happens to the points I’m no longer using? Do they stay in the system so I could hypothetically bank the remaining 2023 points to 2024 UY?
I hope this makes sense! Trying to utilise and understand everything before pulling the trigger.

Thank you ☺️

N/M. What I originally wrote applies, but with banking / borrowing and spanning use years on a reservation it's more complicated than I first wrote.

Your 2022 September points if banked into 2023 would expire on August 31 2023 right before your new allotment of points comes in. So since you are planning an August/September Trip you will have most likely have to do two reservations, 1 for the dates in August and 1 for the dates in September. You would be able to bank any of 2023 150 points that were not used. Remember the points banked can not be banked again and your banking deadline is April 30th each year.

But hypothetically, if my 11 month booking was 264 points at GFL and then at 7 months I changed to the Riviera and that’s 250 points, could I bank the ‘spare’ 14 points to the 2024 UY of the remaining 2023 UY points?

Since your banking window is end of April and the 7 month for your trip opens in January, you will be able to bank any leftover points.

Also, because you are booking a trip that crosses your UY, you will need to call MS to help you get it booked as one reservation and may need their help at 7 months.

They have the ability to make a reservation like that which we can’t online.

This is perfect, thank you for confirming! It’s much clearer now ☺️
