Can y'all give me some guidance on these? Other than not being able to purchase until the 7 month window opens, I know nothing else. How much are they per point? Are there any limitations on them? What do I need to know? Thank you!
I was in the same situation yesterday when I was trying to make an additional one-day reservation.
It probably doesn't help you, but I learned a few new things.
I had made my DVC reservations at 11-months before SARS-CoV-2 for December.
I did the same for PCR reservation split stay.
But I decided to use my banked points to switch from PCR to DVC CCV.
I picked several days online with no problem.
As I saw more individual days show up, I would reserve them as long as it was a new check-in day.
Yesterday, the DVC Member website stopped me and said I had reached my 50% limit. and I needed just one point.
I forgot about that. Bummer.
I called DVC Member Services and as everyone has said:
24-maximum One Use Points per Use-Year.
As long as I make a reservation, I can still continue to use the remaining One Use Points until gone in that Use-Year.
For some reason, I thought I only had one reservation chance to use them or lose them.
Not true.
I knew I had to call DVC Member Services for One Use Points, but the cast member couldn't see my date on her computer screen.
I should have unchosen my date on my laptop.
It still wasn't available even though before this I had seen this particular date on my laptop.
The cast member said if I wanted to take a big chance I could reserve a CCV studio with a wheelchair accessible tub and waitlist the CCV studio with a wheelchair accessible roll-in shower for the same date.
I took a chance.
The next day the CCV studio with a wheelchair accessible roll-in shower showed up again even before my waitlist.
So online, I modified the CCV studio with a wheelchair accessible tub reservation and successfully changed to what I wanted which was a CV studio with a wheelchair accessible roll-in shower.
Then I deactivated the waitlist.
Long process for me.
But at least I know what to do next time.
I can only use 50% of my
banked borrowed points.
Don't check the date I see available online.
Call DVC to make the reservation and to buy up to a maximum 24-One Use Points for that Use Year.
At 70yo, I'll probably forget this next year or be dead.
