Ok, I have switched all the reservations around and now we are at OKW for the entire time.

Problem, I paid cash for the weekend nites. I have 16 points left for the year. I need 42 points total for the entire weekend. That leave 26 points to acquire.

Paying cash for the room is $209 plus tax so it would be cheaper to buy the 26 points for the two nites.

New question: How can I get the 26 points and use my 16 all in the same reservation? I have used my 1 transfer for the year. How can I link a new reservation to our current reservation?

And I thought the hard part was buying the DVC.
 
Can you borrow points from next use year to make the reservatin for those nights? Your other aleternative would be to go ahead and bank those 16 points, and rent a reservation from a DVC member for the nights that you need. I think you can link reservations from multiple owners.
 
Thank you Chuck, I sure would like to know for sure that we could link a reservation made by another member.

I believe my lesson this year was when I gave away those 8 points that were holding when we bought our contract. I had the person transfer into my account and then I made the res. for her using her points and my 8.

I have learned to really consider what a transfer is before doing it. Just a few points to help out has hurt me in the end but I felt compelled to give since Matt and Lucy had helped me out so generously. I was paying it back to help out another member. Lessons learned!

Anyone?
 
We are doing this for part of our trip next week. We scored an OKW grand villa for the weekend. Fri and Sat nights are with my brother's points, and Sunday's ressie is using my points. We were told the reservations are linked. My brother's paper reservation doesn't mention one way or the other, and I didn't receive a confirmation in the mail (I usually don't, for some reason).
But I called MS again to double check, and was told they are linked.
If you want I will post again in two weeks to let you know if there was any trouble.
 

Thank you, now I am looking at more points! Please Stop me...

There is only one cure for addonitis, more points. We added on small contracts three times, and found the number of points that works out just about perfect for us. Sometimes we borrow a few points from the next year, but most of the time we bank. :) What that magic number is for you depends entirely on your vacation habits.
