How important is UY?

[AlaskaMOM]

I'm just curious, I've read a lot about getting the same UY if you already have DVC, but we are still in the "looking at everything" phase of our search for purchasing DVC, and there doesn't seem to be a big deal to me with the UY, is there?

Its only role is the cushion it can provide (or not) for a cancelled reservation. If you have a reliable travel pattern and can pick a use year just before you travel most frequently, then the point from a cancelled reservation have the most time for reuse and banking opportunities. If you pick just after you travel then you have the shortest window for using the points and probably no banking opportunity.
