Direct Purchase with October Use Year

[mindymouse01]

If I purchase a direct contract with October as use year, could I still get last year’s points? I’m confused on how to maximize the points they will give you.

Only December is still in the 2020 use year. It’s not technically “last year” but rather the current year.

October 1, 2021 has already passed, so 2021 is the current use year for October points.

So if I bought today, the only points they would give me would be 2021 points, they wouldn’t give me 2020?

Correct. When you buy you get current UY points and beyond. So, except for the Dec UY, the rest are in their 2021 UY already.

Correct. What @Sandisw said above is true. You only get current year points when buying direct, along with future points as time marches on.

You may be able to get 2020 points when buying resale. Those points would have needed to be banked by the deadline. Those contracts are referred to on here as “fully loaded” or sometimes “double points” on the resale sites. There are restrictions to be aware of when buying resale.
