Left over points

[Denniswr]

I'm new to DVC, what can you do with a small amount of left over points lets say around 20-30? Example I have 150 banked will probably use 120 for our vacation before they expire. How do most people utilize the remaining points if they can't be banked. Thanks

Go back to WDW for a short trip.

Rent them out. You can't transfer banked points so it would have to be for a reservation for someone not requiring many points or if it was just a few over, you could borrow a few from the next use year.

Is it too late to bank them? You could always put them on the rent/trade board!

Exactly what we did.

You can also post them on the rent/trade board. Often a member is a few points short for a reservation. A transfer is an easy way for them to top off to complete the reservation.

Points that have already been banked cannot be transferred amd will expire at the end of your current Use Year - you will either have to use them yourself or find a way to make a reservation for someone else.

The Rent/Trade Board is a great way to do that.

Good luck!

Have you considered upgrading your 120 point trip? For example, from a studio to a 1 bedroom? Or maybe inviting a friend or family member along and splurging for a 2 bedroom? Or maybe staying a day or two longer?

Even if you have to use a few of your current year points to make the "upgrade" happen, it might be worth it to splurge - since right now you seem to be a little "flush", LOL.

Best wishes -

I would try upgrading your room or add a couple days to trip
