How many times can you bank in a year?

[meryll83]

I know I'm happy to bank a certain amount of points way in advance of the banking deadline, but if closer to deadline time I decide I'd like to bank some more, or the remaining balance of my points, is this possible, or is there a limit to how many times you can bank in a year?

There is no limit to number of times you can bank. Whatever banking you do must be done by end of eighth month of current use year.

Fantastic, thank you!

Just remember that once banked, the points cannot be returned to the original use year.

Very important point, BillPA.

We wait until just before the 8th month in case we decide on a short notice vacation.

This could change in that they could limit the number and/or institute fees. Currently there isn't and if I had to be, I'd think this won't change going forward but it could and it has changed in the past twice from a % of points based on a timeline (initially only half the points) to the current situation.

IMO this makes the most sense. Put it on your calendar if you are afraid you will forget. We have added a day to a trip or changed resorts requiring different points etc. Deal with banking 1 x per year (if needed) vs multiple

I bank as I need the points ahead in the next UY (more than 1 home resort), so in some years end up with multiple bankings, otherwise I wait to bank the remainder. It's all just dependent on what you need and if you are one who can and sometime does take last minute trips.
