I Forgot To Bank My Points

[sueg]

When we waited too long to bank all our points, we sent my parents to a bed & breakfast in New England. They are retired & were able to go mid-wk, so we maximized the stay/pts. They really enjoyed the surprise trip.

Anyone know if the "one time banking option" would apply to points that were borrowed from another use year?

I am looking at a BWV resale that has all of the Dec 2002 points borrowed and in reservation status. As I understand it, these points are only good at non-DVC resorts and must be used before Dec 2002. These points are very limited and it makes the resale very unattractive. Any chance the "one time option" could be used to fix this mess?

disneykidds, if I'm reading your question correctly, once you borrow points from the following use year, you can not bank them back into that year.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

You're right - that is how I understand it as well. However, I did not know this "one time exception" thing was out there and I wonder what exactly it can be used for - and if it could possibly be applied to the situation I described. Thanks.

I would highly doubt that you could use the exception for this situation. Not only would you have to deal with the "unborrowing" but you also have to deal with the conversion from "reservation points" back to "vacation points." I recently made a reservation using points for the Animal Kingdom Lodge, and MS made it very clear to me (multiple times) that these points were now "reservation points" and that if I cancelled my AKL reservation, those points were unavailable for DVC resorts.

Hi bonzie1, just down the road in Ham. Sq. If you had time for a day's drive, you could get a whole week at HH with those points this time of year.
