When will you receive your final points on your contract? Isn't expiration really the year prior to the stated expiration year??

[Frugal Fairy Tales]

For example, if you have an October UY for a contract that expires in 2042, would your last points be added to your account in October 2041 or October 2042? Thanks.

Since your ownership expires on January 31, 2042, the last possible date for points for you would be October 1, 2041.

 

[Frugal Fairy Tales]

Thank you.

Yep... there's no Jan. UY... DVC contract UY starts with Feb... so your last year with points will be 2041 and everybody's else the year before their Resort expires.

Does this mean there would be great availability from December 1, 2041 through January 31, 2042 at those expiring resorts because they can only be booked by owners at nonexpiring resorts?

Unless Disney disallows it, people could still bank points. But, all the people with expiring contracts will *only* have until 1/31/2042 to use them, so I imagine we’ll see LESS availability. (For example, I’ll get my last BRV and HHI points on 9/1/2041 but I only have until 1/31/2042 to use them.)

Wait! Are they getting points for UY 2041? If that is the case, then those with Dec UY is getting hosed the most with only 2 months left to use their points!

There's nothing in the contracts that say you won't get your 2041 UY points, so, yes, they'll get them, and yes, DEC UY will have 2 months to use them, unless they borrow them into their 2040 UY.

Yes, I hope DVC is already considering how to handle this issue, although as others have pointed out, the people who will make the final decisions are probably in business school or maybe even college now.

I am glad BLT doesn't expire in 2042. I will need to keep an eye on how this plays out should I decide to keep my contract until the very end.

Start borrowing 5 years before the end of contract, jump on at 11 months to book your home resort, or book elsewhere at 7 months. Resale owners at RIV should start walking their reservations 3 years beforehand!

So BLT expires in 2060, right? 18 years is another whole generation of MBAs!

Better yet, unload before I get myself into this potential mess!

As we have already seen, the ability to borrow points can be restricted or removed. The same is true for banking.

Some have suggested that banking and borrowing will be eliminated for 2042 owners for the final few years. Some have guessed that you may have a lot of owners walking away from their contracts the last year or so if availability is difficult. Maybe they will bring back a lottery in some cases?

I kinda think there are enough other resorts to mostly absorb the glut around 2042 and kick the can farther down the road. We'll see.

Unfortunately (or fortunately in reality) you can't walk over the UY transition, or I am sure some of the folks would.

You just need to call MS to do it. You can’t on your own

I continue to be amused at people worrying about what will happen 21 years from now.

And to clarify, when we say we 2042ers have 21 years of points, we really only have 20 years of points.
