Points Expiration Alert????

[Nuttie4Disney]

Hello. I'm brand new to DVC --- literally just became active in their system. Anyway, I was checking over my account online and came across the following alert regarding my vacation points: "This Use Year's remaining Vacation Points for Member ID number ******** will expire on the last business day of May 2011". What does this mean?
I'm confused about this alert because our UY is June; therefore, I thought our 2011 points were "good" until May 2012?
I would call MS about this, but, unfortunately, they're closed for the evening. So rather than drive myself nuts all night, I figured one of you might be able to put my mind at ease!

Thanks!!!

I just looked at mine. I have an April use year, my remaining 2010 points were banked and I have this message:

This Use Year's remaining Vacation Points for Member ID number * will expire on the last business day of March 2011.

So it must be a standard message since they would have expired yesterday!

Nope, no points for 2010; only 2011 forward. Thanks for the quick reply though!

I updated my post above. You'll find that IT is not Disney or DVC's strong suit.

Your June 2010 Use Year runs from 6/1/10 - 5/31/11 and any points remaining in the account will expire on May 31 unless used by then. Your June 2011 points will be good until May 31, 2012 unless you bank them which extends their useful life thru May 31, 2013.

The message is just generic and serves as a warning about the current Use Year.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably still call MS in the morning just to make sure I'm not about to lose out on some points!

A big thanks!!! Now I'll be able to relax!
