Ok I spoke with MS and told them I have reservation for July and I want to make ressies for Nov. but I would have to borrow points. So I asked if I could change the points in July to the borrow points and save this years points for Nov's booking. She told me no problem. I doubled checked with her and made sure that the July resevations wouldn't get cancelled in the process of switching points. She said, NOPE. it will be easy to do, just switch points.
I say OK I'll call back with the dates, since I wasn't prepared at the time I called. I was making dinig resv. and just thought I would throw out the points situtation.
What I forgot to ask is this. See if you can help. They switch my points. I book Nov. and for some reason I have to cancel Nov. my use year is Dec. do I still lose the points or can I use them and book a resevation for {let's say}Feb. 2009, since they are not borrowed points?

Did I make this confussing:confused3
 
November will be too late to bank the points to use in February. Any of your December '07 points will have to be used by November 30, '08 or banked by your banking deadline. There is an option of "depositing" for use outside the DVC system, but I don't understand that.

So Then let's say in Sept. I had to cancel Nov. and while I was on the phone cancelling Nov. I couldn't say "I want to book My dates for Feb. using the points I just cancelled with?" I am just making sure this is what you are saying.

The current banking deadline for any points is 4 month prior to the end of your UY. With a Dec UY, the deadline for banking any points is the end of July.

If you cancel you November trip in July and it was booked with your 07 UY points (not already banked), you can bank you points and use them for a Feb 09 reservation. However, if you cancel later, you must use those points for a reservation staying before Nov 31, 2008. At that point, it would not matter whether they are banked or current points, because either would have to be used for a resrvation in the same time frame.

Best of luck -- Suzanne
 

Actually, the December use year banking deadline is July 31.

Chcuk -- Thanks for pointing that out. That will teach me to try to count at the end of the day when I am tired. I have corrected my prior post so others won't be misled either. -- Suzanne
