Left over points?

[joandegennaro]

Well finally did it and ended up adding the day so only 3 points are left. I don't think I can even transfer them to another member to avoid the need to purchase a few to complete a ressies as when I was reading the boards I read that banked points can't be transfered. I would have been willing to give these 3 away to the first person who responded to a points about them but I guess my hands are tied with that no transfer of banked points rule. Thanks to all of you who responded with their advice on what I could do with these left over points.

Is your planned trip in a studio? If so, you could consider treating yourself and "upgrading" to a 1 bedroom.

Another option is to check out the Concierge Collection to see if there is somewhere nearby that you'd like to go - perhaps for a Saturday night or long weekend. You would have to pay a $95 fee to do so, and maybe use a few more points, but it could be fun. If this sounds good, remember the Rule of Four. If your stay will be within the last 4 months of your use year, you have to make the reservation before the end of the 8th month of your use year.

Yes we are booked in a studio. I don't really see the need for a 1 bedroom for our family. OKW has the 2 queens which is a must with DD 17 and 12 (by the way in one of my above posts I said 1 bigger and the other almost....well both are now officially bigger than Mom) The one bedrooms only have a double pull out couch and that just wouldn't do for us. Thanks for the suggestion though. I think even when we start traveling as a couple only in about 7 years we will still only want a studio accomodation as we can happily make due with the kitchenette for our meals and then be able to stay twice as long

The OKW one bedroom unit would actually have a queen size pull out sleep sofa and they are currently renovating them to include a single sleeper chair as well.

Be forwarned, once you go to a one bedroom, you will never want a studio for your family again, LOL!

I think this is exactly why I am so resistant to upgrading. I've read all the warnings about it and believe the warnings about it and addonitus Already dealt with the addonitus and want to stay away from the upgradeus
