Please clarify

[I'mWong]

I have never had any points before that I didn't use or bank. This year I think I am going to. Can someone please take a look at this and tell me exactly what I can bank and what will expire in October? Thank you!

Use Year October 2014
Total Annual Allotment of Vacation Points 260

Total Vacation Points Remaining 374

Total Vacation Points Available to Bank 260

It looks like you banked from 2013.

2013 points = 114
2014 points = 260

You can bank the 260 points from 2014 and the 114 points from 2013 will expire, unless used by September 30.

You can bank the 260 2014 points into your 2015 UY -- at any time prior to May 31, 2015. They will be available for reservations from Oct 1, 2015 - Sept 30, 2016.

The other 114 points (whether banked from a prior year, or due to borrowing and canceling) will expire on Sept 30, 2015 if not used.

Thank you. I get so confused by these numbers. I guess next year we will be able to stay in a really nice place!

For the 114 points that will expire on Sept. 30, 2015 if you are unable to use them, you can always rent them through David’s Vacation Club Rentals at www.dvcrequest.com and get some money for the points you would otherwise lose.

Or alternatively if you bought direct you can convert those previously banked points to RCI and they'll "live" another two years.

You can deposit into RCI even if you buy resale. I haven't done it, but everything that I have read indicates that that is still available to resale buyers. Resale buyers cannot use points towards the Concierge collection, the Disney collection, or the Adventurer collection.

Yes, any member can trade via RCI. It's also important to note that any one who was an owner before the restrictions were put in place in March 2011 can use their points for anything that DVC offers.

Ohhh, I thought the restriction applied to ALL the Collections. Well even better, that would definitely be an option for the OP then.

You can also use the Buena Vista Trading Company Options for Club Intrawest and Club Cordial.
