Here's my situation - tell me what you would do (I know I need more points, I'm working on it!! 
)
Right now I have 140 points in my account.
In Feb. I will get another 295.
We are thinking of going in Nov. over Thanksgiving & also in the Spring during March/April always in a 2BR.
I don't have enough points to "do it all", however, with some "finagalling" I can work it this way:
187 points needed in Nov.
305 needed in March/April
(I would bank 10 points from 2004 into 2005 & then make my March/April ressie)
We would use cash reservations to try out other resorts for a few of the nights we would be there.
With this scenario I would have to rent 57 points from another member.
OR:
I could bank more points from 2004 into 2005 & stay more nights in the 2BR in March/April.
This way I would have to rent more points in Nov. from another member.
I guess my question is, do you think it would be better to use my own points in November or March/April? I'm thinking it's more cost effective to use my own points in the Spring because the points are lower in Nov., therefore, it wouldn't cost as much.
Does this make sense or am I confusing myself?
I don't want to borrow my points from 2006 because I know we will be returning anyway. I know, I know - I NEED MORE POINTS!!!!!
