Restriction on borrowing more than 50% of your points

[Kazi7]

I got on the website to look at availability since I've hit my 11 month mark for a possible family trip next May, and I see that a 50% borrowing limit is in place "temporarily". I understand the rationale, but has there been any info on how long this might last?

Till the point imbalance created by being closed unwinds. My guess it to expect it to continue for two UY years at least. If I had to guess, you won’t be able to fully borrow the 2022 or 2023 UYs.

Yikes, that would suck... Thanks for your reply. I can understand not being able to borrow my 2022 points for travel in 2021 at this point. If instead I bank the 2021 points for travel in 2022, would that be a similar problem with having too many points in circulation for bookings in 2022, if indeed the imbalance still persists that long?

Who knows and my guess is at least a year. But, those that bank and skip a year will also cause the imbalance so if more people do that, then I think this restriction will last even longer

i’m not clear on the policy. Does it mean:

A) you can borrow 50% for a single reservation,

B) 50% per contract, or

C) 50% per membership

Per contract.

Per contract.

Thanks!
