OK, thought I had the points / UY thing figured out, but have a ?

OK, I have a Dec UY. That means if I want to bank it has to happen by the end of July correct? Means that points for the current UY expire End of Nov if not banked? Now, the fun part is that I will normally be using my points early Nov, or sometimes in Dec. Let's say I want to book a week in choice season for 2010 Animal Kingdom. Let just say Nov 6-13 Sat - sat, 7 nights.. I have 205 points per year. I've already booked this years points because I knew I wasnt going to be going this year. I'll be getting a 2br and a studio..
That will be 295 +110 both sav view, for 405 points.. That will leave me 5 points, which isnt any big deal, but it will help clarify a few things for me.

So I'll be able to book AKL (which is my home) 11 months in advance, so Dec 6th 2009 I can book correct? So I make my ressies, I use my banked points of 205 from this year, my current points for 2010 for the balance. Now, since I've now 'used' my banked points I can bank my last 5 correct?


Thanks, just wanting to clear this up in my mind

Yes, you have it. Congrats. UY isn't easy, especially that Dec UY (I also have a Dec UY for one contract).

Right now, we are in your Dec 08 UY so the 205 points you currently have are 08 points, not 09. It sounds like you want to "bank" these ponts by July 31st, into your Dec 09 UY (which runs from Dec. 1st, 2009 - Nov. 30th, 2010).

Since your Nov. 6th - Nov. 13th, 2010 trip will occur during your Dec 09 UY (Dec. 1st, 2009 - Nov 30th, 2010), you can use "banked" 08 points, and 09 points to cover the trip.

205 would come from the banked points and the other 200 would come from the 09 points, leaving you 5 left.

When you call and book the reservation on Dec. 6th, 2009, you will still be able to bank those 5 points into you Dec 2010 UY.

Good luck and happy planning!!!

Great, I thought I had it but wanted to make sure. I can see where I'll have to really look close if i want to have a visit in Dec or if for some reason I will actually straddle the Nov/Dec border
