Current Incentive Deal??? The 100 pts. at SSR can we use them right away??

Like in Nov. if rooms are available? Our home resort is SSR too...but is there a catch 22 on using these points other than they have to be used within a year??? Thanks

Don't know about current incentive rules, but in the past with our add-ons the booking rules applied as well. We could not book at any resort other than our home resort prior to the 7-month window. Since you are looking at November, this does not apply. I don't see why you could not do as you plan and don't see what rule there would be to cause you not to.

You can always call MS and see. Be sure to let them know that you are using developer points as they always have had to look elsewhere for info on these.

You can only book 7 months out (so Nov. would be no problem). No catch - they just have to have availability. We received ours in May and are using for a stay in Dec.

I'm an SSR owner who bought an AKV add-on yesterday about 11AM. I was able to book a reservation at SSR for early January by 4PM with the developer's points. As soon as the new contract hit the website. They were usable at SSR, the Disneyland hotels and II trades. So there was no home resort advantage. You should have no problem with Nov. if there is availablity.

The MS rep. did explain booking rules and I did not notice any difference except for the fact that they expired on 8/21/09 and could not be banked. Reservation point and holding point rules remained the same.

When using dev. points do you have to use them all at once or can you book 2 separate stays? If you do not have enough dev. points can you add your reg. points to complete the reservation?

Thanks for the info.

Those 100 points are available to you to book however you please as long as they are at SSR and are used at the 7 month window before the year mark. Just make sure MS uses these first before taking your other points.

They do expire one year from the purchase of the contract and you can not waitlist with the points.
