Hi Gang,
We are planning a family vacation for 12 nights next October (14th-26th). Our home resort is SSR and we have a June use year. With banking points from 2006, using all our 2007 points, and borrowing from 2008 we have a total of 401 points. A 12 night stay for a 2BR villa at SSR is 400 points. So, yes, we have enough points.
Here's the dilemma. Although, we have enough points we would like to save some points so we can to use in 2008/09. If we were to stay at OKW it would only be 352 points.
This is what I am thinking. I would make two 5 night reservations now at SSR from Oct 14-19 and 21-26. That takes up 290 points. In March (7 months out), I would then phone to see if we could change into OKW (or even BWV standard view) for the full 12 nights and borrow the remaining 62 points needed from 2008. If it's not available then I would just book the last two nights (Oct 19-21) at SSR and borrow the remaining 110 points needed from 2008.
I don't not want to borrow too many points from 2008 by booking 12 nights at SSR now, because if I switch to OKW then the points cannot be put back into 2008.
Am I taking a risk by doing my planning this way? Is there a chance that I could get shut out of both 12 nights at OKW and those two nights at SSR at 7 months out?
