What do you do with your extra points if you don't rent it? I just borrow and add new reservations. I leave no point unspent. I haven't been an owner that long so just wondering if the day will come I will "lose" a point. Or rent.
 

I left my 1st point behind this summer…shame, shame.

Made me realize it was high time to add on a smallish resell @ that resort (didn’t need much convincing).
 
No point losses for me. Never borrowed, and never rented. I bank regularly - pretty much always roll over some banked points - anywhere from 20-80 is typical, then use them up in the next use year. If I stay in 1-bedroom villas 4 times a year, I'll end up slowly accumulating more banked points each year - if my banked points begin to build up over 100 points, then I'll usually just do a splurge and get a room I really don't need - like grab a 2-bedroom instead of 1, or stay at a pricy point location to burn off the extra. If I do 5 trips a year, that usually keeps me about even, with 20-30 points to bank at the end of the year.
 
In 32 years of ownership, we’ve lost one point, but I honestly can’t recall the circumstances. :blush: We have never rented our points. We normally visit twice a year, but anticipate that may change with our recent retirements (perhaps more trips of shorter duration). We prefer one-bedroom units, but book studios when our trips are more park or event centric.

I have 1 point I'm going to lose January 31 from a waitlist/stalking situation. I found my reservation while stalking so booked it, 30 minutes later I got a waitlist filled email so I was double booked. Upon canceling my 1 borrowed point was left behind.
 
Never lost a point in 21 years. Rented once because of use year. Banked then decided to go before my use year (not typical for us) so I rented the banked points but that was long in the past.
 
I haven't owned very long.
I've not lost any points as of yet, but I don't think it would bother me that much if I lost a few :)
 
I lost a point in my June 2023 UY… I had a contract with already banked points which didn’t close until May… so had to do a quick rental but couldn’t find a room with points required matching the number of banked points. Oh well, I got over it.
 
We had to cancel a fairly high-point trip in 2021 because we had a grandchild too young to get a Covid immunization and my daughter (sensibly) didn't want to bring the baby under those circumstances. All the points from that trip plus a few borrowed from the following year bought us the Southern California ABD, which we always wanted to do. Not the most cost-effective use of points, but we didn't lose any and got to cross a line off our bucket list.
