point dilemma

[twooley2]

o.k. So maybe I need help I have changed my reservations multiple times. We are a family of 5 three teens and us 2 adults. We at first thought the MK view at bay lake would be great so we booked it and said use the crazy amount of points and sit home next yr. Than my DH could not get his choice of vacation dates. So thinking back I remembered someone saying how many points one could save and stay in an AKL value like half the points at BLT but I already borrowed points whew and would I be able to get one at 7 months well as suspected I called and called and called. Well one more call was in order and they had one for all my days. now Im excited to have a coveted reservation. Although I keep wondering if I made the right choice. I will have to use all my 2010 banked points in 2012 due to this borrowing and borrow again than be home the next yr 2013 or not go in 2012 and still go in 2013. Whew this will make my head spin

I'm confused by using your 2010 points in 2012 - you can't do that unless you are referring to calendar years and it works out somehow.

If you have 2010 points banked into 2011, you have to use them then.

I think you're saying - you had used your 2010 points and borrowed your 2011 points for your upcoming trip. Now since you downgraded and need less points, you have banked your 2010 points into 2011, and you are still using the borrowed 2011 points for the upcoming trip? So those would have nothing to do with 2012?

So I'm confused on your situation - but I'm not really sure what question you are even asking!

You are correct I have to use my 2011 borrowed points first. My 2010 points will be banked by July 2011 (160) and used in by November 2012 as we have a December use yr. Is this correct? We are new at this. Can someone tell me if I am thinking right? This December use yr messes with my mind.

Yes, if you bank your 2010 UY points, they will be valid during your 2011 UY. With December, this would make them valid for a stay in November 2012.

Thanks a bunch I thought I was partially loosing it and a bit worried.

Sorry - December use year (to me) does always seem more confusing since the majority of your year to use the points falls into the next calendar year. Now that you said that, I understand better what you were saying!

We have a December use year, too. And, like you, it messes with my mind, too.
