I apologize if this is not appropriate for this board, but I'm a little confused about this.

First, We own 250 pts. at SSR with a Feb. UY. I may be in need of 24 points for a Jan 05 trip to SSR. (I'm using my 05 pts. for this). When I go to rent them from the R&T board, will it be necessary that I get points from someone that is SSR specific or can they be from any resort and applied to my account?

Second, If I were to do an add on later, (for instance, 150 pts. at VWL), would I be able to combine those points to my SSR and vice versa, or would I only be able to use 250 at SSR and 150 at VWL???

I hope this makes sense... Thanks to all who respond.:confused:

They can be from any resort. But, if you intend on booking your stay at SSR at the 11 month window, they must be SSR points. If you already plan on booking your January trip at a resort other than SSR, then it really doesn't matter which resort the points originate from.

Second, If I were to do an add on later, (for instance, 150 pts. at VWL), would I be able to combine those points to my SSR and vice versa, or would I only be able to use 250 at SSR and 150 at VWL???

Same answer really. Yes, you can very easily combine the points for a single stay. But if you will make a habit of booking SSR at 11 months, then you probably want to add on at SSR.

For the fairly large number of points you are talking about, you're probably better off adding-on at a different resort. If you do get a 150 point VWL contract, you could have up to 450 points at a single time (one year banked, one year borrowed and current year) to book a stay at 11 months. When you have multiple contracts, there's nothing saying that you have to use all of your points at both for a single year before borrowing. The contracts are completely separate entities.
 
I assume you know that you'll be borrowing your 2005 points for your trip and if something happens, you won't be able to bank them and they will expire the end of Jan, 2004.
 
Dean, Sorry for not responding sooner.

Yes, we know we're gambling our 05 pts., I hope nothing comes up.

We're not looking at an add on yet, but I just didn't fully understand how 2 contracts interact with one another. If I'm correct, basically it all has to do with the 11/7 month reservation windows.

Thank you both for the input.:wave2:
