I have these reservations booked:

May 24-26th- 50 points total ( 31 banked points, 6 borrowed, 13 current points)

Aug 30-Sep 2nd- 58 points total (all banked)

Sep 2-5th- 90 points total (19 one time use points, 21 banked, 69 borrowed)

Oct 24-27th- 45 points total (all borrowed)

I am planning to cancel my May reservation and have the 6 borrowed points go back to their year they were borrowed from. The DVC agent I talked to said the 31 points banked from that reservation can’t be reallocated to go towards my Sept. reservation so that it uses the banked points first for my reservations coming up. I know for sure that I won’t cancel my Aug and Sept. reservations because I rented them out and have been paid for them. Any suggestions on how I can get as many points not wasted or put back into the future year I borrowed from? Can I reallocate my May reservation so it is all borrowed points and then cancel it so they go back to the future use year? My use year is Feb.

Thanks for any suggestions!
 
The only way to make your May reservation have all the borrowed points is to cancel one of the other ones first to free them up,

As long as you keep those trips, you can’t reallocate points in or out,

Now, you can certainly cancel May, and then reallocate those banked points into September...since You have OTO, you might want to call for that,

Now, once you have freed up more borrowed points from September, what you might be able to do is book another May trip with those borrowed Poijts and then when Disney cancels, they should put them back, assuming that policy is still in place.

Call and talk to a different CM.
 

Can I have some help too please? I have a June UY. I have same question about what, if anything, I can or should do with my points to maximize future flexibility.
These reservations were all gifts to family members so not my decision to cancel. Likely Reservation 1 is going to be a bust. Reservation 2 plans to proceed if Disney is open. I do have an agreement that if any family is backing out of the trip that they give me 31 days notice.

Reservation (1) 6/14/2020-6/20/2020 311 Current points. Likely to Cancel.
Reservation (2) 6/28/2020-7/4/2020 190 Banked points. Family committed to go if Disney open.
Reservation (3) 1/30/2021-2/5/2021 159 Current points, 42 Borrowed points

If reservation 2 doesn’t go, then you want to get those banked points into reservation 3 so you can free up the current UY points.

You can do that by modifying your Jan reservation and not changing a thing and when it rebooks, it will pull those points,

If reservation 2 happens, then all is set and your points would be used the best way possible.
