Made a mistake by buying BG and desperate

One advantage to having them borrowed and on your account, is the save fee has already been paid.

I paid to save my current year balance and the $35 fee applied to those also.

I think the system is setup to automatically save when your roll over window opens. I will let you know what it says in September after my anniversary date...

Jim,
I was told at my owner's update yesterday that if I borrow points, I would then need to pay the fee to save the points, otherwise they will expire. Is this true, or when I pull points ahead/borrow them, I do not have to pay to roll them over into what is their normal use year.
Thanks,
Teresa Pacey

You only need to pay to save points, not to borrow them

There's a quirk in BG's display of your points (if you go to the "my account" page once you log in). I have points that are borrowed that are flagged as "need to save." This is because I borrowed them last year, but BG's system doesn't change their designation to "current" once I pass my anniversary date. So, even though they're actually this year's points (and thus will need to be saved once my anniversary date rolls around in 2012), they're still marked as "borrowed" which I found odd.

I have seen this on my account as well.

I would contact them regarding the error and make sure to get a screen shot of your page....because with the new system, if u do not pay to save ponts - you lose them.

I also have this message but I have contacted BG by e-mail and their reply was that they are good thro to the expire date shown to the right of that message it means they have to be saved before that date. Must admit it is very confusing it should read save before expire date IMHO maybe it is to long to put in the box lol
