One time use points question

[DizBub]

I have a Feb UY and have some points that must be used by Jan 30 2013. Can I use the "up to 24 one time use points" to fill out a reservation if I can find availability in Jan since all my other points will be banked? Or will I have to borrow my own points?

If I am able to use the 1 time points would they be considered for 2012 even if it's in Jan 2013? Then would I be able to use them again after February 2013? Or do they go by calendar year?

Yes, you can get up to 24 points for reservations within 7 months. In this case, this will be within your 2012 Use Year and you could do it again for a reservation between 2/1/13 and 1/31/13.

You actually have until January 31, 2013 to use those banked points.

Unless you already have plans for other reservations during 2013 I'm not sure why you don't want to borrow you own points instead of paying $15 per point - a long as you are not likely to cancel the reservation.

Thanks for the reply. I hoped this was the case.

I'm actually a little OCD about conserving my points and trying to squeeze as many trips out of them as I can. I'm just in planning mode and considering every option I can conjure up.

I was like that in my first year as an owner. I decided in March to do a last minute May trip and had to borrow to make it happen. I did purchase a few one time points because I wanted to save some for an 11 month window but I realized that borrowing was not as stressful as I thought!!!

It was a great trip and now, I think my fear of borrowing is over!!!
