Newbie - borrowing points

[dphie28]

I logged into dvcmember.com and see my points allocation until 2013. Does that mean I can borrow 2012 and 2013 points for a 2011 reservation NOW?

No, the most you can borrow is one year in advance. The website just shows you your allocation that far out. You can, however, bank your 2010 points to 2011 and then borrow your 2012 points giving you 3 years worth of points for your vacation in 2011...
Enjoy

No. All your points are already in the system. You can only borrow from the 2012 points for a 2011 vacation.

Thanks. Can't do that, though, since I used 2009, 2010 and borrowed some 2011 for our may trip

Well, then that leaves the balance of your 2011 points and all of your 2012 points for the 2011 vacation... Sounds like you might need to purchase more points

That's what I am thinking. DH would probably divorce me though. We haven't even travelled on points yet, and here I am planning a long 2 week vacation for 2011 including a $5000 cruise!

Depending upon your UY and when you want to take that trip in 2011, you might be able to use your 2013 points. If the trip falls across the UY line (i.e., you have a Sept UY, you trip starts in Aug and ends in Sept -that the UY line) you can use points from one UY in the first part of the trip and points from the later UY in the second part of the trip.
