Sorry for the noob question, but just wanted to confirm if I would be able to modify a RSVP to reallocate points that may involve all 3 UYs? I understand banking/borrowing points cannot be reversed, but does that apply when you modify a RSVP?

I currently have a Waitlist under my current 2025 UY that would use up 90 points. I will be booking a trip for my 2026 UY, which will cost a total of 300 points (150 points from 2026 UY, and borrowing 150 points from 2027 UY). Say my Waitlist doesn't go thru and I decide to bank the 2025 UY points (90) into 2026 UY. Can I then apply those 90 banked points to the RSVP and then have 90 points from 2027 UY go back into 2027? If not, then I'll just cancel my Waitlist Request as I don't expect it to be fulfilled anyways, and then bank those points towards the 2026 RSVP and borrow less from 2027.
 
No banking and borrowing are final transactions so once the 2027 points are borrowed into 2026 UY they are stuck there. What you could do is bank the 2025 points then modify the reservation to use those points and free up an equal # of 2026 points. You can then bank the 2026 points into 2027. When you book it uses banked and/or borrowed points first then the current use year so it would use banked 2025 and borrowed 2027 leaving some of the 2026 points available if your waitlist doesn’t fill and you rebook it.

Thanks for confirming. I'll just cancel my WaitList since I don't expect it to get fulfilled, and I just put it in since I had the points still leftover for this year. If it got filled, then great. If not, would just bank it to next year. Since we do have a trip we're planning now for next year, we'll just bank these to apply to that trip.
 
Can I ask what an RSVP is please? I thought I knew all of the DVC acronyms but I can't work it out in this context! (I know what it mean in terms of an invitation, but that's all I can think of)

Same context like in invitations. I was using it rather than typing out "reservation".

I'm glad you asked! We've been DVC members for over 30 years and had never heard RSVP used in connection with anything DVC related.
