No longer getting the 50% borrow warning

[6bowmans]

I also got an exception to borrow extra points - 16 to complete a December reservation. Had to hold for 30 minutes, explain what I needed to the first cast member, on hold for another 30 minutes as "the team" worked on the request, got cut off, on hold another 30 minutes to get through again, explain again what I needed, only 15-20 minute wait for the team to approve the request. Pain in the backside, but I finally got the reservation we needed for our big family trip. I was disappointed that the first cast member never bothered to try and call back after I was disconnected (it was a snafu on Disney's end as I was sent to the customer service survey without ever being re-connected with the cast member).

Yesterday it was refusing to allow me to use all my 2022, Dec UY points for a Jan 2023 vacation. Forced me down to 50% for the 2022 points. I should have called, but thought the wait would be oppressive. I will call them now, reading this.

If they are going to allow all of the exceptions, maybe it's time to eliminate the temporary 50% rule.

The only exceptions I can see for allowing more than 50% borrowing is for those foreign owner members that couldn't use their points because the U.S. was closed to them. They were given DVC owned points to make up for the expiring points, but they didn't have any ability use their points in 2021 like the rest of us.

Why is this rule still in place? They are filling the parks again so what’s up here.

The parks aren’t the issue. The problem is there are a lot of points that couldn’t be used in the last few years and they are limiting borrowing points forward to allow for the capacity to use the current year and banked DVC points.

They are giving those who weren't able to travel (b/c of governmental rules etc) a chance to use their points.

This is about DVC system which has nothing to do with the parks.

With a points based timeshare, you have to manage points in system against rooms since we don’t buy a set time in anyone villa.

With the closure and people just starting t travel more regularly again, the system built up way too many points in a given year to balance against rooms.

Limiting borrowing helps those with banked points have more options to use without losing.

We won’t see it return until DVC feels the system is back in acceptable balance.

They could even decide to keep it at that level. Nothing guarantees it has to be 100%.
