Membership Magic Beyond Odd # of OTU points

[SugarSweetLee]

We don't have MMB yet but I'm considering adding it for the OTU perk. We are looking at booking a room that is 15 points. Can anyone tell me how that would be processed with the BOGO? I buy 8 and get 8 free and am left with an extra point somehow?

Yes. So you’ll pay $99 + $160 for 16 points. So essentially you’ll pay $17.26pp (15 points) and have the MMB perks including the photo pass.

Just call up Member services and they can do it all in one Phone call.

So I'm just wondering how that extra point is treated. It just sits in that UY and cannot be banked?

I think so? You can also rejiggle your reservation to use that point, then bank that one point that’s from your membership if that makes sense?

So for example, I have a reservation at poly. I used my 2026 BLT points. I then used my MMB BOGO points instead for that reservation, freeing up points that I could bank to next year.

I think in the case, you will only be able to get 7 with 7 free, and the extra point will be full price.

They will only sell them for a reservation or to get the AP…so you can’t buy more than the points needed for that night.

Got it, that's kind of what I was wondering. Thanks!

Oh one more question! If I am buying MMB for 2026, and my UY is OCT, and the trip is in September, the points go into my 2025 UY, correct? But I can't turn around and buy another set of OTU points during the same MMB calendar year for a UY 26 reservation, right?

You can buy for a dummy reservation for all 16 pts then cancel and book the room you want freeing that 1 pt. That’s what I did for 24 pts. I then freed my UY points to bank for next year…

You can buy both sets of points. However, only one set will be eligible for the BOGO pricing.

You can only use that benefit once per calendar

I could use it up to the 12 bogo/24 point max though, right? Like I booked one room for 14 points and another for 10?

Yes, you can get up to 24 so if you want to split it, that works.

You just will be capped at one set of 24 at the BOGO price and also capped at 24 per UY.
