The borrowing restrictions

Are there any inklings yet as to when the 50% borrowing rule will end?

I am afraid not. I think with the increase in cancelled visits due the bad COVID situation in Florida,and the continued no fly, there must be a glut of banked and extended points. This means it will be longer than originally anticipated, in my opinion.

You've got to think that May 2022 is the cut off as that's when all those "extra" points expire but at this stage who knows!

I’d not be surprised if the rule was in place for all 2022.

Thanks guys. Just thought I'd check in to see if I'd missed anything. Looks like I haven't.

It's a bit of a pain as we're now planning 2 big trips next year. But we can always adjust the accommodation if the rules suddenly change.

Current restrictions don't harm us mainly due to the fact that we've "caught up" due to covid! Ds has mentioned maybe going in 2022 so the 50% rule might harm those plans but we are actually in a situation where we plan a 1 week studio & then 2 weeks in a 1 bed just to use up those points! I think realistically we are going back to every 2 years, the associated costs -flights,passes etc- have made an annual pilgrimage not realistically viable

It is.

There have been flurries of excitement with people saying the notice has disappeared from the website, then when they call they're told it's still in place.

I don't know if this is a sign that it's about to end, or just another symptom of rubbish IT.

I booked a trip for June yesterday to use up my points.
It gave the usual info as to where points were coming from and also stated how many I could borrow.
Not done yet I’m afraid.

No sign but then I haven't really been keeping track IYKWIM! On a DVC fan discussion, a couple of months ago, there was a feeling that it may never lift! Apparently that was the rule when DVC first started (?) but you'd have to imagine a big backlash as they really pushed the "borrowing" when selling those smaller contracts!
As an update on my last post, we managed to get 19 nights SSR studio + 14 nights SSR studio without hitting the 50% but that is really because we haven't been able to go for 2 years!
