See if you might be able to clarify this for me:
Today we got our member number. I immediately called MS because I was hoping to get a 2 bedroom and 1 studio at AKV during Christmas which I thought was virtually impossible.
I got a very helpful CM. She banked all of my UY 07 points (December) into 08 (which was fine, except I have 6 points in there I probably can't use) and then got me a 2 bedroom standard and a 1 bedroom studio. This left my point balance at 6 for UY '07 which were banked into '08 and 225 for '08. We also have 160 developer points.
We plan to bank the '08 points when we get them to use on a cruise in 01-2010.
After I got off the phone with her, I started worrying I had not been clear about using the banked points first, so I called back to check my points balance. I told the CM on the phone my DH and I are thinking of taking a cruise on our Developer's points. She said I potentially could have messed my points up by doing it the way I did.
I asked her to explain. It was something like if we have to cancel the cruise, our points go somewhere and I should have used some different points. I said I didn't realize I did it wrong. She said I didn't do it wrong, but I could possibly cause myself a problem.
How else could I have done it? I had to use regular points in order to book at 11 months out instead of wait until 7 (where I am most sure a 2 bedroom AKV would not have been available). We are only going on the cruise becuse of the Developer's points. I am confused as to what I did wrong. Please help me!!! What did she mean. She said I should always tell them of all of my plans when I call in the future, but the cruise is speculative, not for sure and I am not ready to book yet.
