please help me understand borrowing points.

I have an October use year. I currently have 18 points avaliable for 2008, on October 1st I will have an additional 200 points for 2009. I want to book a trip in April 2009 for March 2010 which will be more than 218 points which means I would have to borrow from 2010's points. Can I do that because I am still in my 2008 use year. Thanks for your help.

The trip will take place in your 2009 use year. You should bank your 18 2008 points. Use all your 2009 points, and borrow any extra needed from 2010.

Point usage and borrowing depends upon the date of travel and the use year in which the travel takes place. It is not dependent upon what use year you place the call in to make the reservation. They can borrow when you call in April 2009. Be sure to bank your 18 points prior to making the reservation.

This part confuses new members. The points don't "deposit" on 10/1. They are already loaded in the system. When I look online, points are in my account up to my 4/2011 use year.

that is what confuses me. it says I have points through 2011 also I guess what I didn't think of is March 2010 is STILL my 2009 use year. I was thinking it was 2010. I will get the hand of this. Thanks for your help.
