use year add-on question

[ldrprn]

We are going to be at AKV in March, which is our use year. I am thinking we might convince my Mom to add a contract while we are there. I know if we purchase in February we would recive 2009 points. If we wait until March do we loose that option? Mom has never been, and I think once she sees AKV she will not be able to resist.

Yes, once your 2010 UY starts, you will no longer be able to get 2009 points.

If you are thinking it is a real possibility, what I might do, is have your Mom call your guide before you leave, agree to buy, start the ball rolling in February so you get your 2009 points, and then finalize when you are there in March.

Good luck.

If you purchase directly from Disney they start you off with a full set of points for the current Use Year. With a March UY, if you purchase by the end of February, you would still be in your 2009 UY so your initial points would be 2009 points. If you purchase between Mar 1, 2010 and Feb 28, 2011, you would be in your 2010 UY so your first set of points would be 2010 points.

If you purchase very close to the end of your UY there is a chance they will be out of current UY points so be sure to ask about this if you decide to add on before the end of this month.
