How do you count 7 months?

[bicker]

I just want to make sure I'm counting correctly... we want to add Saturday night, November 8, to an existing reservation, with points from another home resort. Can we do that next Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday? (I'm pretty sure one of those three is the correct answer.)

You call on the 9th of April. It's the day of CHECK OUT. You would be checking out on the 9th of November, so call on the 9th of April.

7 months (and 11 months for that matter) from date of check out.

Doesn't matter how many days a month has. For DVC, a month is a month - be it February, March or April.

And thank goodness! Who wants to have to use a calculator to figure out when to call!

So whens the 11-month window open for a day like January 31st?

Hey, Good question!

If you want to stay the night of January 31, 2009, you could have called on March 1, 2008. The check out day for 1/31/2009 would be 2/1/2009. 11 months prior to 2/1/2009 is 3/1/2008.

Now if you wanted to stay the night of January 30, 2009, the check out day would be January 31, 2009. 11 months prior to that would be February 31, 2008. But since there isn't one of those, you would just call on the next "real" day after that, which is March 1.
