Use Year Transfer Question

[Nahanni]

We have a Feb UY and bought 2 points from DVC to complete Aug 11 vacation.

Can we get a point transfer from another member 2011 allotment into our 2012, or do we need to find 2012 points?

Thanks.

Transfered points retain their UY and their home resort status. Transfered points can be banked, banked points can not be transfered.

I'm pretty sure you would need to find someone willing to transfer 2012 points. It would be best to either call MS and ask or send them an email and get a written response.

I think OP was asking if buying 2 one time use points from DVC counted as his once per UY transfer, right?

I think the answer is no, purchasing those points does not count as your one transfer per UY.

This is what the DVC member site says about it:



•One-time-use vacation points are vacation points available for Disney Vacation Club Members to use as an alternative to borrowing vacation points from the following use year's allotment.

•You can obtain a maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points once per use year per membership.

•A maximum of 24 one-time-use vacation points are processed in a single transaction, not multiple transactions.

•The fee for one-time-use vacation points is $15 (including tax) per vacation point, and is subject to change.

•One-time-use vacation points expire according to the use year of the reservation booked and are non-refundable, non-transferable and cannot be banked or borrowed.

•One-time-use vacation points are not available for waitlist reservations.

•One-time-use vacation points cannot be applied retroactively to existing reservations.

•One-time-use vacation points are only available for Members whose contract is closed and in good standing.

•One-time-use vacation points are available only for Disney Vacation Club Resorts, Disney Collection*, Adventurer Collection* and World Passport Collection reservations.

Thanks Mousefan - I wasn't sure if buying one time use points from DVC was considered a transfer and I reconfirmed your reply with MS this morning. Now we have the option of renting 2011 points if our airfare watch comes through.

Good, glad you got the answer you were hoping for! Good luck with your airfare search.
