Hello, new to DVC, about to close on a BW contract, with any luck my membership and points will be available end of July.
When booking a room online, if banked points are needed, do you have to have those points already banked or will the online tool let you bank them right when you book?
Also if you do need to bank points ahead of time is it quick like 1 to 2 minutes or does it take a day for there system to update?
Why im asking, Im getting boardwalk 200 Points with Arpril use year, 69 points from 2020 that are banked in to 2021. 200 for 2021 and 200 for 2022.
So the 69 points i need to use by this April, from what im told it will be a challenge with everyone needing to use up all there extra points.
The 200 points from 2021 i can bank into 2022 before December.
Our plan is for a big family Trip for July 2022 in a 2 bedroom. Point chart shows that at 265 points for Standard 2 bedroom and 316 Preferred view. Im hoping for Standard, but if im a little slow and only preferred available so be it.
So ill need to bank atleast 65 points into 2022. Dont want to Borrow just yet.
So will i need to have the points banked before booking or will the online system just say, hey you need 65 points and ask if i want to bank some of my 2021 points?
Or should i have all expected points banked first before booking.
Ide prefer to only bank 65 ahead of time instead of the extra 116 needed for a preferred view, just incase there is some last minute availability for this Nov/Dec and i need the points.
But if the points need to be banked before booking then ill put all 116 just incase.
Hopefully that all made sense.
Thansk for any Input
