When I purchased into the AKL Villas during the latest promotional offering (in Feb.) I received 160 comp points :thumbsup2 to be used within a year. But in further discussions over the phone with MS there were other restrictions which seemed confusing.:headache:

I may be dense (OK, you're dense :rotfl2: ) but can anyone spell out for me what are the rules and the time perameters about using these points?:confused3

Thanks.
 
There may be additional restrictons, but these are the biggies:
-- They had to be used within one year of getting them.
-- They could not be banked or borrowed or transferred.
-- They could only be used to make reservations within the 7 month window, regardless if you are looking to use them at your home resort.

Also, you have to let MS know that you want to use them first if you are making a reservation. They will not automatically use them as a part of your "pool" of points.

The thing is that the contract sheet that denotes that you are getting bonus points does state the restrictions attached to said points. However, I dont think many people have actually read that page, myself included.
 
We have developers points and I also think that you are not allowed to use them to waitlist. (I may be wrong about this).

....or at any resort, even non-dvc resorts.
I learned the hard way
 
We got the 2007 use year points when we brought into AKV in December 07. There were no restictions on these extra points and we have been able to bank them the same as regular points. We have added them to the points from this use year to go away in Feb 2009.

Those are different, it sounds like what you actually received were your points. Developer points/Incentive points/Comp points (same things, just different names for it)are from the Developers pool of points that aren't assigned to any specific account. Developer points have all the limitations that have been mentioned in previous posts.
