I can't say it's a universal policy, only that they did it for me.
Would they not let you bank them then? Or had they already been banked?

I'd be hoping to bank 2021 points to 2022, extend 2019 special points (actually I think they are already extended to May next year) and extend the 2020 points to end of May next year. Then I'd have to maybe extend my holiday in March and/or upgrade the room type.

Quick question, I have 10 distressed VGF points they show on my dashboard but can't book online with them as they disappear?

These are expiring points carried forward into use June year 21. I'm trying to put them towards a booking for May 22.
Any help appreciated.

Hi everyone

Looking for a bit of DVC advice.
We have 2 trips planned for next year in February/March and August - both two weeks.

Currently we have 250 points used to book 2 weeks at Copper Creek in August and 250 points held in the international member policy agreement. Our use year is December so from what I understand I won’t be able to use these points till they become ‘live’ at the start of December?

We had planned on using these 250 points to book somewhere for our Feb/March trip but having had a look at availability I am now quite worried that there will be nothing available if I wait till December to book!

Could I use the 250 points from my august trip to instead book the Feb trip. When the points become available in December use those to book the August trip and then ring member services and ask them to switch the points around? I can’t use the international member policy points to book august as they need to be used earlier.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Yes, book the Feb trip while there is some avaibilty and then ring when your points trip i, in early Dec. Then book August.
If you have some remaining current points in this years allocation to start the August booking you could book what you can, then do the next part of the booking in Dec, and merge them.
