Question about buying resale and banking points

[AJKMOM]

We hope to close on a resale at the beginning of November, and it includes 210 points for 2017, and 6 points from 2016(I think). The use year is April but we don't plan to use them until next (2018) October. Do I need to have the current owner bank the 2017 and 2016 points now, can I do it at closing in November, or don't I need to worry about them since I have plans to book at the end of November for 11 months next October? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Your April 2017 points need to be banked before December 1 if you need to bank them.

You should have time to bank the 2017 points. For the 6 2016 points you must be referencing points that were already banked or they would have expired 4/1/17.

I didn't think about that, thanks!

I wonder if having the owner bank the points would make them less desirable to DVC in ROFR?
If it's already gone to ROFR I wouldn't mess w/ the points at this pt., and baring the unforeseen you should close well before 12/1 which is about 120 days or so from now.

Won't the banked 2016 points expire if not used by 4/1/18?
