I'm actually looking at having a transfer IN to my account from a person with a different use year than my own. I understand how the transferred points retain their use year and home resort etc., but I don't quite understand the timing. Just for sake of example, let's say that another DVC member has 500 points coming on July 1, 2009 that I want to transfer IN to my account. At what point during 2009 can I make the transfer IN (I have an April use year if that matters)? Do we need to wait until 7-1-09 for the transfer to take place? Important - I want the points coming in on 7-1-09 because I want the ability to bank them to 2011 - I'm not talking about transferring 7-1-08 points that are already sitting in their account now.
For sake of "simplicity" also assume we are both good with the one transfer per year rule.
I spoke with another DVC member who told me they were able to transfer their next year's points prior to the beginning of their use year, but I just spoke with member services and they told me that the earliest I could transfer in this example would be 7-1-09. However it was also apparent that the guy I spoke to at member services perhaps didn't know everything. It took forever to explain the situation and to get an answer and he did not sound that confident.
Any comments greatly appreciated. Also is there a place we can look up these kinds of details - some sort of "points rule book" for DVC members.
