Home Resort vs. others

We are purchasing at SSR, but I would like to add on at OKW with 25 or 50. Am I right in assuming that if I own any points at OKW, that I can use the 11 month res window?

Thanks,

You have the 11 month window ONLY for the points you own at that resort. If you have 150 at SSR you can use 150 at SSR 11 months in advance. If you add on 50 at OKW, you can use 50 points for an OKW reservation 11 months in advance. You can NOT use SSR points for OKW at 11 months, but can at the 7 month window.

My understanding is that you get the 11 month booking window just for the Points you own at the resort those Points belong to. So, you could not use the add-on Points to book 11 months out at your original "home" resort.

You can use the 11 mo window, but only for the points you have at OKW. So, with banking and borrowing, you would have a max of 75 (25 pt contract) to 150 (50 pt contract) points. You would not be able to combine your SSR and OKW points to make ressies at the 11 month window for an OKW stay.

Others have stated it well. In other words if you add on 50 points at OKW you can book at the 11 month as long as your stay requires 50 points or less. You could bank those fifty into next year giving you 100 to use at the 11 month window. The 11 month window to me isn't important at OKW unless you always want a GV. OKW has the lowest occupancy rates of any DVC Resort. Well at least until SSR is finished. I've seen tons of rooms available a month out at OKW. In other words adding on here doesn't seem to make sense IMO.
