In a search for point transfer information, I found this thread from 2005. I'm not sure it it still applies. I do know that the # of transfers in or out is now one per year per member. I am wondering about the use year. The information below indicated that if I get a transfer in, the points will take on the use year that I want to put them in (either this UY or next UY). If that correct?
My situation: My UY is Aug and want to use the points in April 08. Transferee UY is Dec. Can I get current points (UY06) from them and used them in April 08? Hope this is clear. TIA

<li>IMPORTANT: If the Transferrer and Recipient do not have matching Use Years, then the Recipient may not have a full year (12mos) of use out of the Transferred Points. This is because when a Transfer is performed, MS' system cannot track the Originating Member's UY, so they will arbitrarily choose a UY in the Recipient's account to put the points into. Recent (spring 2005) experiences posted here on the DISboards indicate that MS might follow the following guideline when deciding which UY to put the points into: "If the Recipient is 6 months or less into their current UY, then the points go into their current UY. If the Recipient is beyond 6 months, MS will put the points into the following UY." If you are the Recipient, and want more control over which UY the transferred points go into, please remember to specify which Use Year you want the points Transferred into. Example: Transferrer has a Sep UY, Recipient has a Apr UY. If the transfer is done today Jun05, and the Transferror wants to Transfer out Sep05 points, then the Recipient has a choice to receive points into their Apr05 UY (making the points only valid from 9/1/05 to 3/31/06) OR their Apr06 UY (making the points only valid from 4/1/06 to 8/31/06).
