Using Banked Points

[Jkarrows]

If you have banked points and it says use by say 1st of June do you have to have taken your trip before then or can you book in May and go on your trip in September?

Thanks guys.

Points must be used by that date.

Points must be valid (not expired) for each day of the reservation. When trying to book, the system will only allow you to book what will be available for the days you want.

So for example a trip that goes from May 29th - June 5th can only use these points for May 29th - May 31st.

NOTE: If you have any current use year points in a reservation have MS use all your banked in points first. This should happen automatically. However sometimes with booking/cancelling this could get messed up. You could then bank the unused current UY points.

yep, "use year" is about when you use the pts for a stay. nothing at all to do with when you call to book.

You cannot travel on points after the date they expire. So using your example the answer is no, you cannot use those banked points for a September trip.

You could move the points into RCI and it should give you another two years to use them. I would confirm it with MS about how long you have to use them. Lately people are getting mixed answers on the expiration date (some only getting an extra year).
