Changing resorts. How do points work

[Dznypal]

I’m almost at the 7 month so I can change resorts. Right now we used 110 points 90 of which were banked the rest came out of our UY Which is aug The resort we’re planning on is only 93 points. So does the points automatically adjust so first my 90 banked points would be used followed by 3 from this UY the rest then I could bank into next UY. Thanks

The order in which points are taken is:

• Holding
• Banked
• Borrowed
• Transferred
• Annual Allotment

In your case, the 90 banked points + 3 Annual Allotment points would be used for the new reservation.

Yes, correct. In your case, when you use the modify feature to switch resorts, the system will first use up any banked points and then grab current use year points. The extra points will be returned to your account as current use year points, which can be banked if you are not past the banking deadline.

Great thanks so much. I was hoping that was the way it would work out.

sorry yet another question about points--

since our home resort and another one were thinking of changing are rather pricey as far as the number of points go one of them is our home resort

so to make our points stretch farther were thinking of buying a few extra points

would those be used first then
and then onto holding-banked -borrowed and so on
or would we just lose them
thanks again

If you buy OTU points from Disney, they can be used ahead of your regular points. Just remember, those do expire at the end of the UY so if you had to cancel, you would still need to use them by July 31st, 2023.

This is why it's smart to avoid borrowing points when you plan to do a 7 month switch. What you're doing works because you're using banked and current year points. If you were using borrowed points you'd be stuck, because there's no way to un-borrow them.
