Point Help Please

[Lost in Neverland]

We had made reservations for some friends using our points for 2010 which at the time were borrowed. Due to this snow storm the eastern US has been hit with they left one night early. The AK returned the 38 2010 points back to my account. I can not bank these points since they were borrowed and they will expire at the end of Feb. We know we are going back to WDW in January of 2011. Can I make my reservations for 2011 before the end of Feb and use those 38 points for that reservation or will I still lose them? i really hate to lose that many points due to the weather if there is another option.

Unfortunately, the points must be used by the time they expire, not just booked.

Your only chance is to try to rent them. That is probably enough to book 1 or 2 nights somewhere on property. There could be someone out there interested.

Good luck!

Sorry, i'm not understanding your question entirely....

If you borrowed 2010 points for the 2009 use year, then you'll loose the points if not used by the start of your 2010 use year.

You may want to call MS...if you have other trips planned, they may be able to reallocate your points so they aren't lost.
Reading your question again, it almost sounds like if you're not going by the end of February 2010, you'll loose the points.....Call them anyway...they have been known to "use their magic" from time to time.

Just a follow up... I did call member services again and MAGIC happened. They made an exception and put my points back into my 2010 use year. What a nice surprise....Thanks for the advice.
