point transfers

how long does it take for transfers to show up in you point chart on dvc page

Not sure what you mean - Are you perhaps talking about having points transferred into or out of your account and then being able to see that reflected in the "My Points" section of the DVC Members' Website?

yes this morning I did my first transfer from a member and she had never done it either, I am so excited to use them but figured I had to wait till they show up to make the call. I am so excited, I have a studio already but want to try to upgrade to a 1 bedroom

They will not show up in your account on the members site. Just tell the CM when you call for the res. that you have points that were transferred into your account that you want to use. They retain their orig. use year and home resort. I know from recent experience. My brother transferred points to me. I then banked them, but they never showed in my account on the site. I emailed guest services and was told they would not.
When I called to use them for a res. for March 08, member services couldn't find them and when they finally did, the system was not allowing them to make the res. with the transferred, banked points. I had a very nice CM named Patrick who was very helpful. He assured me the points were there and they would hold the res. and get back to me in a couple of days to finalize everything when they had the problem solved. He called me about five days later, they still did not have the problem fixed. It took almost three weeks to fix whatever was wrong. They did hold my res. and the points are now there to use. Just a heads up. Sometimes things don't go smoothly, but they do turn out ok.
I probably should add it takes about 3-4 days for them to be in your account.

I thought you could not bank transfer points I am confussed

 

[TDS'93]

Transferred points may be banked. They retain their use year and home resort. However, they do not follow the banking deadlines. They may be banked even if they are past the deadlines.

 

[CarolMN]

We are not allowed to transfer points that have been banked first - perhaps that is where the confusion comes in.

TDS'93 is correct that transferred points may be banked and that MS doesn't seem to apply the usual banking deadlines.

I called today and they stated transfered points won't show up on member point pages but hey were there and they took care of my reservation, they even stated if my waitlist doesn't come in I can bank those points which I did not know going into this so thanks to a very nice owner whom I figure I can't use her name thanks for helping me out you know who you are.
