DVC Website has added a home resort that I don't own

[smileyanna]

On the DVC website, a new resort has been added to "My Home Resorts" in the Plan Vacation tab. I am a relatively new owner at CCV and AKV-Kidani is now listed as a home resort that I can book out to October 8. I have not bought AKV.

To test things out, I have tried to book AKV past the 7 month window and the available rooms are listed until I try to reserve one... then the website says "This reservation can't be completed because the requested dates are no longer available."

Before I contact member services - any thoughts on why this happened and/or whether there is any benefit or downside to keeping as is?

Did you buy One Time Use Points?

Ah. Yes I did! That must be it.

(Now I remember reading about this on the member services boards while I was in the process of buying resale. I didn't understand what the thread meant, now I do!)

Thank you for the quick response and knowledge, @_auroraborealis_ !

Always happy to help someone avoid calling MS and sitting on hold and alla that.

Also happens if you ever transfer in points. I only own at AKV but transferred in BWV point 2 years ago and now it shows up as a home resort

It hasn't gone away yet as a home resort despite being 2 years ago? Did you bank some of those points?

Nope We transferred them in January of 2021 and used them for trip summer of 2021

It falls off eventually but it does take several years (I think it falls off past the maximum possible banking of the points you recieved?)

LOL I was wondering why I suddenly owned at Old Key West....

I have Riviera listed on mine now, along with my actual resort of BWV. I did just buy one time use points, but it was to book the GF for a friend.

The OTU points don’t go with what you booked, just whatever resort points they have. That is why they can’t be bought until 7 months because it doesn’t matter what resort DvC has in stock to sell.
