Travel after banking deadline?

[PolyRob]

Already planning a trip for after my banking deadline! My banking deadline is May 31st, and I really only anticipate us doing WDW in June or July. But, the thing is, those are summer vacation trips and planned months in advance. Where we live (and the jobs for me and my wife), those dates are often set in January and pretty well respected - that's when people start registering for summer camps and a lot of people around here vacation at the Jersey Shore, which requires booking months in advance. I'm not very worried about work getting in the way of those trips. I suppose other life stuff can always throw a curveball your way, but that can happen anytime.

If I did have to cancel for some reason, I'd probably try first to rent it out as a confirmed reservation heavily discounted. If that failed and wasn't able to reschedule before end of UY, I'd probably throw the points into Interval International (but remember that has to happen 45 days before the end of your UY - I looked recently because the resale contract I just bought happened to have 2 points that expired the day after the points loaded to my account).

Good thing about June travel with an Oct UY is you can cancel 31+ days in advance and STILL bank

I try very hard to avoid it but we have a big trip planned in Jan on a Feb use year contract using two years worth of points. I'm petrified there will be some big snow storm, sickness, airline snafu, etc. I did it because it's the only time everyone can go, but I'm never doing it again lol.
