I purchased BWV direct points in 2005/Feb. I just closed on SS (120/Feb) resale points. They deposited/posted the points in the BWV membership number.

1. Is this normal procedure?
2. How do I keep track of the booking window for the BWV points?

I’m a little confused. Any advice would be appreciated.

All of your points in the same UY will be under the same membership number.

Home resort only affects where you can use the points between 11 and 7 months. IOW you can book SS at 11 months with your SS points, and BWV at 11 months with your BWV points.

I totally understand, but how do I know how many BWV points I have in 2026, for example? I have to admit, I definitely relied on the dashboard for that information. Is this a non-problem and I don't get it???
 
Whenever you buy a new contract, it will be added to the same membership number as long as the named members are the same and the use years are the same. The contracts are in fact listed separately in your online account, i.e., it will show the BWV and SSR contracts separately in the account, and thus distinguishing the use between them is easy.

As long as the same member is named on the contracts, even purchasing a new contract with a different use year, and thus different member number, results in that new contract being placed in the same online account as the first one, but with the different membership number, and you will not be able to use the points from both contracts together to make a single reservation unless you transfer points from one to the other.

As to keeping track of the booking window, that has nothing to do with how contracts are listed in the account. You can always book 11-months out from date of intended arrival using points applicable to the particular resort you want to reserve, and 7-months out at others, e.g., your BWV points can reserve BWV at 11-months out, the SSR points can reserve SSR at 11-months out, but they cannot be used together to make a single reservation except at 7-months out.

As to knowing how many points you have in any partricular use year still left for each resort, in your online account, under "MY DVC" go to "MY Vacation Points" and you will find the answer.

I bought BWV direct in 1999 and VGC resale in 2020, both April UY. Up until recently, I only used my VGC points at VGC so it wasn’t hard to keep separate. I had a VGC trip in December that I decided to cancel and there were banked points in the reservation that would expire at the end of March. We ended up rescheduling for February at Polynesian. One thing I wanted to mention is it’s tricky to use points from both contracts since this was the first time I did that, take your time. I used the banked VGC, then 2025 BWV.
 
You know have to go yo manage vacation points to see each contract and points available.

The dashboard will add them together. When you go to book in the home resort period, only the contract eligible will show.

If booking 7 months or less, both contracts will show unless you are trying for RIV, VDH, or CFW.

Only BWV will show for those resorts since resale SSR bought now can’t be used at those resorts.
