Not sure I understand this...

If I want to book a trip for January of 2005 with an October use year and this year's points are gone, we will get 150 points this October. I have to bank this October's points by the end of March 2004. If I want to make a reservation for January 2005, I can make that in February of 2004, correct? I won't have to bank this year's points then, if I make the reservation in February, right?

You will have to bank the Oct 2003 points to 2004 before making the reservation next Feb, 2004 for a Jan, 2005 trip if you want to use the banked points. Otherwise, it sounds like you've got the process down.

The points you will receive on October 1m 2003 will expire on Sep 30, 2004. If you want to use them for any reservation after Sep 30, 2004 they will have to be banked.

When you call in Feb, 2004 to make the reservation, MS will walk you thru the process, but you can bank those points anytime after Oct 1 of this year.

Enjoy!

See...that's the part I guess I don't understand...if I am making a reservation after the month I would have to bank my points...March, then I would have to bank them? If I were making a reservation for this November then I wouldn't? It doesn't matter when I call for the reservation...if the dates are after March, the points would have to be banked?

OK, I think I got it now! Thanks!
