I'm considering an add on at a different resort and am wondering how that works when it comes to making reservations. If I have a 100 point contract and then add on a 200 point contract at another resort (maybe with a different use year) is it just considered one bucket of 300 points when it comes to making on line reservations? I know the resort I'm booking matters in terms of the 7 month vs 11 month timing but aside from that.:confused3
 
If the UY are the same, and the add on is a subcontract on the membership, then yes it would be one "bucket" of points at the 7 month mark. If the UY are different, then no.
 
I would not consider it a bucket. You will still select which contract you want to use even within the 7 month mark. I have multiple contracts at different resorts. Sometimes I bank one resort while borrowing from another in order to take advantage of 11 month windows.

Example:

Most of my points are at Beach Club. I banked a bunch of BC points from 2012 into 2013. I book multiple villas for Food & Wine where I need the 11 month window.

I have 200 points at SSR. I used 2012 and borrowed 2013 to go to Aulani in a 2 bedroom ocean view.

I booked Aulani before banking. So when I went online to book Aulani at 7 months, I told the system to borrow 2013 SSR points rather than using the 2012 points from Beach Club that would be in my "bucket".
 
Different UY is what makes it a little more tricky as you can't pool points for a single night without a transfer. So, if you want to use them all at 11 months as one big pool, you would want the same resort, same UY and titled the same way so it's one membership. To pool at 7 months, just same UY and titled the same way will do it.

If you did go with a different UY, you'd just have to transfer or book whole nights with each membership. We own two and at different resorts. Not a huge deal but just need to be more on top of things when I book.
