Split stay booking mechanics

[G.C.]

New member patiently waiting for points to load...

With the current borrowing restriction we have enough points for 7 nights at Poly. Would like to pick up one extra night based on point charts and split the stay 4+4 at BCV, BWV or BRV if there are any studios left at 7 mos to “explore our new world.” Might also try a waitlist. If not, 7 nights at Poly is a happy Plan B.

Planning to book 2 res (4+3) as I’ve seen suggested on the boards as soon as the points load. I am already in the 11 mo window.

My question is, does the difference in nights (and points) matter if trying to modify an existing res? Meaning, if I luck into a studio at 7 mo, can I change the 3 night Poly to a 4 night elsewhere and “gain” that night based on the other property’s point chart, if there is availability and I stay under the borrowing limit? Or are the nights/points locked in when you make the original res?

Thanks in advance, hope this makes sense. It feels like putting a puzzle together without a picture.

Yes. At 7 months you can modify the 3 night to a 4 night reservation elsewhere providing you have the points needed!

If you modify a reservation that uses, for example, 54 points to one that uses 38 points, those "extra" 16 points will go back into your account. (I think this is one of the things you're asking?). You can also modify that 3 night reservation to a 4 night one, assuming availability.

Thanks, that is helpful to have confirmed.
