Need help determining how to transfer/rent under these circumstances

[forgop]

I have a December use year with the following availability:

2009: 142 available/140 bankable
2010: 197 available/197 bankable
2011: 300 available/300 bankable

I am in the process of trying to rent out and or transfer the remainder of my 2009/2010/2011 points as I won't be using them until 2012. (Plus my wife wants granite countertops and is wanting to sacrifice the points after our 13 day trip this coming August in order to get them).

My understanding is that I can only transfer one time out of a use year. If I have a request for a transfer for more points than available in my 2009 use year and fewer than my 2010 use year, I'll want to go ahead and do a single transfer from the 2010 use year, correct?

If that's the case, my remaining points would look as follows:
2009: 142 available/140 bankable
2010: 12 available/12 bankable
2011: 300 available/300 bankable

I understand I have until the end of July to bank my 2009 points. If I'm wanting to use the 142 available 2009 points, the reservation must be prior to Dec. 1st, 2010, right?

Sorry for any confusion-I'm just trying to make sure I do this the right way.

Thanks!!!

If you decide you want to travel on the 142 2009 UY points this year, without banking, then yes, you must complete travel by Dec 1st., 2010.

And, I would think if you want to only do one of your transfers, I would take them from 2010 before 2009 so that you still have the chance to do 2009.

I think, and could be wrong as I still have some confusion about the transferring process, that since you are in your 2009 UY, you can transfer both 2009 and 2010 points now. Those transfers would count as your one per UY for each, but can be done in the same call. If, for example, someone wanted 300 points, you could do all 142 from 2009, and then 168 from 2010 at the same time.

I am sure that if I am wrong on this, someone who is much better at this than me, will correct me!!!

Most of my requests have been for December, so I feel like I'm going to dwindle down my 2010 use year points and not my 2009 points. Should I go ahead and bank the 2009 points and apply them to a December 2010 reservation?

That is really up to you, but just remember, once you bank the 2009 points, you can no longer transfer them to another member. You could only use them for reservations that you rent or take yourself!

Good luck!
