reservation points question

[kathrynmtague]

I had a trip planned last summer at DL Grand Californian. We had to cancel the trip less than 30 days out, and MS told me I have to use the points before 3/31/10 (April use year) at a Disney hotel (not DVC resorts). They were converted to some special category (I forget what its called). While I'm dying to go WDW, I may not be able to get a trip before then, and I realize my points are not very competitive to rent since WDW is offering all these hotel deals right now.

So here's my question: does anyone know if I can use these points to reserve at one of the other hotel collection (ie NY, Boston, Wash DC)?
I forget the name...but its a points per night deal.

Your help is appreciated!

I checked my POS and it appears that you can use those reservation points for a reservation at a non Disney hotel, just not an RCI reservation.

Thanks for the help! Perhaps we can make use of these points afterall!
