pt question

I hope this is the correct area for this question.
We own 300 pts at BWV. If we were to buy say 150 pts at AKV, when we called at the 11 month window,could we use all 450 pts or would we only be able to use the 150 from AKV and have to borrow for a longer stay?

You only get home resort priority with the points from THAT resort. So you would have to bank or borrow to reserve more than 150 points before the 7 month window.

Thank-you so much!

Dean's answer is correct. You can only use home-resort points at the 11-month booking window. Banking and borrowing is the way to work multiple contracts into a single reservation at the 11-month point.

If you own 300 at BWV and 150 at AKV and want to make a 450 point booking at BWV at the 11-month point, you can bank your 150 AVK points and borrow 150 BWV from the next use year.

For your next vacation, bank your BWV points, borrow 150 AKV points and make a 450 point AKV reservation (150 banked+150 current+150 borrowed) at the 11-month point. You wouldn't be able to make this reservation until your second year with the contract, because you need those 150 banked points.

What if you transfered 150 of those points into your account from a second party that were also from a different home resort? Could you combine those points if within the 7 month window?

At 7 months home resort is meaningless. All points from any resort can be combined in any manner you wish to make a reservation.

This is only for points under the same membership number, and would include points transferred in from another membership number.

All points retain their use year and home resort when transferred. They could be used at 7 months or at 11 months at that home resort.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Dave,I had to sit and really study your post . Once I read it through a couple of times,I got it. I feel like I've passed a points exam. Thanks for making me use my brain.
It was a hypothetical because I'm really waiting for,hopefully,the Contemporary Villas. Thanks again for your explanations.

We use our 100 point contracts at VWL and BCV to make every two or three year stays there. We bank (if we have anything to bank), use current year points and borrow the next years point to get up to 300 points for our stay.

It really helps to have that home resort advantage at VWL and with up to 300 points, we can easily get our one bedroom at Thanksgiving time.
