Help waiting on points

[BeachMouse1]

Hi all. So I closed on a new contract about 12 days ago. My new contract hasn’t loaded in my account yet and from what I see from others it’s taking about 3 weeks for Disney to get this done.
My new contract has 14 points I need to use or I will lose them. All my contracts are February use years. I have a trip booked for September and am planning on using these 14 points to add a day to that trip. As of now the date I need is available at the same resort so I can then just make it one trip and it just so happens it’s 14 points. My fear is by the time my contract and points load the date I need will no longer be available. I’m sure I will be able to find a night somewhere at a resort but then I have to change resorts (not really a big deal but would prefer to have them all in one reservation at one resort).
I have no more points available for this year but can borrow from next year.
My question is there a way to get this night now and then use those 14 points when they load into my account?? Anyone have some creative booking ideas to get this done?

If you borrow points from next year will you be able to bank any this year points into next year? If so you can try to swap around the points now.

As long as your new points are loaded and ready to use 31 days or more that date. You can book now and then use the new points to replace what you used.

If you borrowed points, those would be stuck and can’t be returned.

If you try to reallocate points with less than 31 days, then the freed up points would be in holding and expire end of you let UY plus be valid only for trips booked 60 days or less from check in.

I am guessing I can’t do this because I would have to borrow points now from next year To book that one night. Then if my new points come in (the ones that will expire Jan 31 2024] and I try and swap I’ll be stuck right because I borrowed points from next year?

The borrowed points would be stuck, but when you put in the expiring points, if they come in in time, the system will free up your 2023 points, which you could then bank.

So, it’s possible to do it….if you are okay with having banked points next year.
