Transfer question..

[babesboo99]

We just got back and we want to go in 2021 for the 50th anniversary. My question is some family want to come and i will need an extra 100 pts give or take when is the best time to start looking for someone who will transfer pts to me with an Aug use year ? My home resort is BCV with an Aug use year. Not sure if this is the right place to post.

Start now. You can watch the rental/trade board and grab the first points that people are offering. I've noticed Jan to be a great time to look.

If you get someone to transfer 2020 Aug use year points, you can bank them for use in your 2021 use year.

Be sure to read the Required Reading sticky thread on the Rent/Trade Board before you start posting.

Interesting, so if I transferred my 2019 points before the cutoff of March 31st (my UY is August), that person would be able to bank them for themselves for 2020? Additionally, would the banking for them be dependent upon my UY or their UY?

Thanks!

yes, the recipient could bank the points. As transferred points retain their Use Year (& resort), they would have to bank them before April 1.

The recipient can bank them. But pre-banked points can not be transferred.

Are you wanting to go in Oct/Nov 2021?

Yep, because banking is allowed, you can start looking for points almost 2 years ahead of time, so I would start looking now.

The thing you need to be careful about is depending on what months you plan on going for your trip in 2021, make sure the points are valid for that timeframe. So for example, if you are looking to take trip, say, in Oct. 2021, than you can accept April. 2020 UY points, which will expire on March 31st, 2021. But if you bank it forward for one more year, it will be good from April 1st, 2021 to March 31st, 2022, which will cover travel from April to Dec. 2021. But you need to get April points soon, as the 4 month banking is fast approaching for April UY points.

So I would look for April 2020 UY points and after to whatever month UY points you planning traveling in 2021. Remember, you can't get points for UY after your planned travel month, as transferred points cannot be borrowed to make a reservation.

Hope that makes sense.
