Help: Resale Add-On— Same UY?

[PolynesianPip]

I had signed a contract on a June UY 50 point Polynesian add on before the broker called and let me know it was incorrectly listed and is actually a December UY.

I figured I should back out and stick with keeping June since that is what I have but they’re giving me 24 hours to decide what I want to do.

Looking for advice on whether to let this one go and stick with June or move forward with different UYs. Can you help?

Different UY is a different membership. Can’t combine the points for a single reservation without a transfer And, once transferred, they retain their own UY rules but can not longer borrowed for trips.

For example, if you wanted to travel in say September 2024…it would be in your June 2024, but your Dec 2023 UY, you could not use the Dec 2024 points in the same reservation with June points if you transferred

I have three UYs but we pretty much use as if that was it for different trips. Unless you see it as a plus. I’d move on.

BACK OUT!

Two main reasons:

1. Managing 2 different UYs is something that requires more than 24hrs thought and research to decide.
2. 50 points in a membership all by itself is very undesirable if everything else you own is in another UY.

Knowing absolutely nothing about your situation I would assume you’re in the 90%+ of people who would be negatively impacted by having 2 use years. Especially if one is just 50 points.

I guess I'll play devil's advocate but overall in general it is better to stick to one UY.

If you plan to buy more points later on, it may be beneficial to have a Dec UY as that would essentially cover the period of time when booking with your June UY may not be as optimal to own such as when booking Feb-May trips.

That being said, 50 points is a pretty small contract to leave on its own and if you don't plan to add more points I still don't recommend a second UY. You're more likely to strand points if you leave that Poly contract by itself. Personally the only way I recommend multiple UY is if you have enough points in each of them to treat them as separate memberships where you're okay with booking a few days of a trip under one membership and the other part of the trip under the other for a split stay or better yet booking an entire trip with one membership and then booking a second trip with the other.

I have 2 UY and it's pretty manageable but that's because I love playing around with points. My UYs are also not that far spaced apart which makes it easier for me to think about but also sucks because they're not optimally spaced apart from one another as I essentially just got the second UY for a subsidized Aulani contract.

I'd back out too. Different if you could use that contract all on its own but even in the lowest season in a standard view, 50 points only gets you 3 nights at Poly.

Depends on what you are doing. If your other points are VGC, then maybe you don't care. Or maybe you only wanted to use these points for September so obviously this change won't work.
