Points & $$'s

[Mick West]

I have the points to cover a 3 night stay but wish to stay 5 or 6 nights. Is it allowed to book some nights with points and pay cash for some nights?

You might want to consider tranferring in points from another member and then you can make the whole thing using points. It would probably also be cheaper than a cash reservation through CRO or even ms with a member discount.

Or rent points for DVC at $15 pp.

The answer to your question is that if you go through MS you can make a ressie for some nights on points and then (if rooms available) other nights on cash using DVC discount of 25% off rack rate and then they will link those resessies so you do not have to change rooms.

Just to add to others' posts, yes, you can, but you can't combine cash and points for the same night. However, you could book 3 nights using points, and the other 3 nights using cash with the 25% discount (if discounted rooms are available).

Also, I haven't booked a cash reservation in a while, but when I did, it was the same price (or close to it) whether it was Sun - Th or F-S. The same not true for points, so you might as well book your higher point nights with cash. Just thought I'd mention that so you could check it out when you call MS!

Yep, I've done it a few times when we were at DVC and wanted to stay extra.
I have even been able to arrange it so I stay in the same room, which is saweet!

yes, but the deal is that you stay "x" number of nights on points, then pay "Y" dollars for the additional nights you want (rack or maybe member discount) but you can't stay a night which requires say 10 points, have say 8 points and pay a cash amount for the lacking 2 points unless you buy from MS the 'one time use points' (at I think $15 bucks each - up to 24 points per year). so per night, cash and points can't be mixed unless you're buying one time use points.
