Nope! If we have to cancel a trip within 31 days, I’ll simple rent the reservation. And if I can’t, I’ll offer to friends or family.
We travel enough that as long as we cancel more than 31 days, those points can be banked and the following year I book larger rooms.
For example, I had to cancel a trip this month because my dad passed away. I relocated them into my RIV night in a few weeks and because there was a GV, I booked that for the one night instead of the cabin I had booked using my VGF points. Had that not been available I had days at RIV in March and September booked too!
They are Dec UY and always will be used for my winter trips!
