Rule of Four question

[meredy338]

Sorry if this is a repeat topic but I couldn't find anything on the search option.

I keep seeing info about not being able to book and travel in the last 4 months of your use year. Is that only for trades, such as DCL and RCI? Can you book and travel a DVC resort in the last 4 months?

Yes, it is only for the non-DVC options since MS would need to be able to reserve rooms at DVC resorts to "pay" for the non-DVC reservations. DVC members can always, based on availability, use DVC points for reservations at DVC resorts in the last 4 months of their Use Year. You can still use points for reservations at non-DVC options for the last 4 months - as long as those reservations were made prior to the last 4 months.

In addition, the rule-of-four also refers to the banking window where members must bank current points by the end of the 8th month.

The Disneyland Resort Hotels in California are currently exempt from the Rule of Four.
