New Borrowing Rules

[DougEMG]

It’s less appealing to me, for certain. But admittedly that’s partly because we are planning a huge trip in 2021 timeframe for our 20th anniversary so we would be looking for 2020 points (as we have a Sept UY). Maybe 2021 points if we have to postpone the trip. But a stripped contract is far less useful to use if we can only pull in 50% points.

I’m glad people aren’t going to lose points with this new decision, but I’m crying inside because our plans did include borrowing all of our 2021 UY points into 2020. Now I need to rethink those plans

One option is to get someone to transfer points into your account.

It's a great idea, and I already bought some points to have transferred into my account to cover all the family and friends we're bringing and the larger accommodations. Now I just wish I had waited to do it, so that I can add like 100 more points. ;-)

I know I could always rent, but I really like having control over the points, and not losing my money if I have to cancel. Especially as I am dubious our trips in December and February - and possibily April - will happen, as I am expected a resurgence in the fall/winter at end of year/beginning of next. In which case, I won't need the extra points, and will be scrambling to figure out how to use the points I cannot bank.
