You can use three years worth of points, but you can not bank more than one years worth of points.

For instance you have a 200 point contract.

You bank from Year A to Year B, giving you 400 points to use in year B.

Then in year B, you also borrow from year C, now giving you 600 points to use in year B. When year C comes around, you'll have no points.

Then repeat the process, banking year D to year E, borrowing from F to E for a 600 points reservation in year E and so on.

Techincally you need only visit once every three years but to do this you have to bank the previous year, use the current and borrow from the next year. So say you visit in 2009 -

2008 - bank points for 2009
2009 - use current year points
2010 - borrow points to 2009

Then visit in 2012

2011 - bank to 2012
2012 - use current year points
2013 - borrow to 2012

You cannot bank for more than one year ahead or borrow more than one year in advance.

Wow, what a great problem to have! My problem is that I've already borrowed all the points I can and wish I had more to use in the current year

What if you have 50 points banked from 2007 with a june use year on a 50 point contract and you have 50 points coming in june 2008, how long do you have to use your 2007 banked points? can you use them for a vacation in feb.2009 along with a few 2008 points and then back the rest of the 2008 points, then when will the 2008 banked points need to be used by?
does this make any sense?

If you banked points you received June 1, 2007, you have until May 31, 2009 to use them.
