The problem with this scenario is whether the 1BR and 2 studios will be available to change into.I came to ask the same question….
Specifically, I think I will need to book two 2 bedrooms, but if we can change it to one two bedroom and two studios, it will use less points. After modification (if possible) the extra points would just be deposited back in my account?
There must be a website with all the point usage rules spelled out. Can anyone provide it? I’m buying resale and understand I won’t get anything physical that describes all the ins and outs of point usage. Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
Yes, that's correct. You may bank them if you are still within your banking window.There are 4 families going and I am trying for a split stay. Five days total, booked in a two bedroom plus two studios at OKW. The hope is to modify to AK (at 7 months) for the final two days. I feel I’ll have a better chance of getting two 2 bedrooms at 7 months than one 2 bedroom plus two studios. If I can modify one of the 2 bedrooms to two studios, it’s less points. I will not be borrowing points. They are in the UY I will be visiting. So they will just go back into my current use year when I modify as long as 31 days out? Is that correct?
Yes, that is my understanding. And, if you are still within your banking window, you should be able to bank your saved points to the following UY.I will not be borrowing points. They are in the UY I will be visiting. So they will just go back into my current use year when I modify as long as 31 days out? Is that correct?
Member Services can adjust a stay to use whatever points you prefer so the "extra" can be the ones within the current use year.I just did this. I modified a reservation from a two bedroom to a one bedroom, and I had to borrow some points to make that reservation. So I used the borrowed points from the one bedroom, and was able to bank the left over current use year points.
I guess I wasn't clear. I used MODIFY to downgrade an existing reservation from a two bedroom to a one bedroom. I had borrowed points for the two bedroom reservation. The modification automatically used those borrowed points first, freeing the current use year points so I could bank them.Member Services can adjust a stay to use whatever points you prefer so the "extra" can be the ones within the current use year.
