So, it appears that my boss has 150 pts that they're not going to be able to use and they expire March 31 (April 2021 points)....I chatted with MS the other day to see if I could take these points and use them toward my March 5-11, 2022 trip and here is what they said.
Q. Are the points borrowed from an earlier year? If so, you cannot take borrowed points.
A. No, these points are not borrowed, they're fresh, baby new April 2021 points
Q. You can use them towards your March 5th trip if we can process the transfer to your account at least 31 days prior
A. OK great - that's Feb. 1st (to give myself 32 days)
EEEKK! I now have a "phone call date" with my boss' wife tomorrow at 4pm to call and do a 3-way call with DVC to transfer their points to ME!!!
(for the record my boss was hoping one of their kids could use the points and some points were used but no one can come up with a trip between now and the end of March and he knew I had DVC and offered them to me for free!!!!!)
Anyway - my questions are:
For my trip in March 2022, I used 306 pts - of that, 281 were Sept. 2021 points, which means that of those 281 pts then I should be able to have all 150 transferred points swapped out and put back into my Sept 2021 UY, right?
and then those freshly swapped out 150 pts of Sept. 2021 UY points, I should be able to bank into Sept. 2022??
I also have a Oct 16-20, 2022 trip - should I swap out any of those points? I know I borrowed 16 pts from 2023 - but I can't put those back, right?
I'm sure (fingers crossed) I'll get a MS person who has all the right answers but I wanted to come prepared with some basic knowledge before I'm just "told" what they're doing with my points and trips.
THANKS genius DVC folks!
