Using banked points plus regular UY points then cancelling?

[disneygirlinnj]

I tried to do a search on here but everything that kept coming up was about borrowed points. Let's hope I can explain this correctly.

I have a contract for 200 BLT Points (UY June). The 2013 Points have ALL been banked into 2014. I also still have the 200 2014 allotment. That leaves me 400 total points to use in UY 2014.

I currently have a ressie booked for January 2015 using 130 of the 2013 banked points. I'm interested in using another 80 for a trip for this upcoming September 2014.

So obviously the September trip would use the remaining 70 of the banked points, plus another 10 from my 2014 allotment. What happens if I want to cancel the Jan 2015 trip, which is all on banked points? Those 130 banked points will still need to be used by May 31, 2015...that I get. But is there any way to get MS to switch the 10 points used on the Sept ressie from my 2014 allotment and have the reservation be all on banked points?

(Hence leaving me with 120 banked 2013 points and my full 200 from 2014)


SO SORRY if that is very confusing.

Not confusing and totally do-able...

I've done similar "points switches" a number of times...

You have to call MS to do it (and calling MS these days is pretty painful...wait-on-hold times of 20+ minutes are the norm, even first thing in the morning)...but it's totally do-able...

Hope you don't have to cancel that first trip, tho...canceled Disney trips are definitely cause for sadness!

Thank you for the quick reply! And I guess it's not technically a 'cancelled' trip but it would be a 'lets postpone this trip a little bit until more friends can join'.

One point. If you booked the reservation using home resort advantage (before seven months out), the points you are substituting would need to be the same resort. If your new contract isn't the same and you booked it before seven months out, then you wouldnt be able to do it.

Definitely makes sense, thank you!
