Owning at multiple resorts

[TheNit]

This is probably a simple question yet I've never seen it specifically answered on the boards.

We currently own a 240 point contract at SSR. If we were to buy a resale contract for 50 points at BLT (with the same use year as our SSR contract), would we be able to book a vacation at BLT at the 11 month mark using all of our 290 points to that vacation?

No, only the points you own at the resort. To book with all 290, you would have to wait until 7 months.

Thanks, that's what I thought.

If you purchased a 50 point add-on, you could use the current UY (if available from resale) and borrow from next year and book a 100 point stay at BLT and try to add on extra days at the 7 month interval. That is risky though.

I understand the only being able to book at 11 months at you home resort in your current use year. But lets say you bank all your 2010 UY 200+ SSR and 50 BLT pts. Can you then use 300pts at BLT at the 11 month window in 2011?

Your home resort booking at 11 months never changes regardless.

You will only be able to book at 11 months with your BLT points at BLT

You will only be able to book at 11 months with your SSR points at BLT.

To be able to book otherwise you have to wait until 7 months.

Points never change their home resort status, even when banked. SSR points can only be used to book SSR during the home resort booking period, whether they are banked, currenty, or borrowed.

Same with BLT points--only those can be used during the home resort booking period.

As PP mentioned, with a 50 point contract, you can utilize banking and borrowing and have up to 150 points to use at the 11 month mark every 3 years. But, other than that, you can only use those 50 to book BLT.

Banking has nothing to do with it.

If is sounds too good to be true, it probably is.. too good to be true, that is.
