thanks guys. yes, it would help immensly if the wording would be updated to include 'cummulative' or something similar. maybe an example illustrating a common misunderstanding (of what canNOT be done) would also help.

Not 100% of what is in your account but 100% of your annual allotment.
Some people get upset when they saved 50% prior to 31Aug, then they think they can turn around and save 25% more of annual allotment prior to 31Oct. Not the case.

Thanks for helping me make sure I understood correctly.

This is the first year I have points in an account (converted from a week to the Club in January) so all that would be in my account is this year's allotment. I can see how it would be easy for people to think they could do a double roll over....50% and then 25%. And very upsetting when they find it isn't the case.

You can certainly roll points in different transactions but if you rolled, say, 55% of your points prior to first deadline.... after that deadline you're done you can't save more.

yyes, exactly like I used as an example earlier. I can see myself maybe falling into this trap in a year or two if I were not careful.

I've been at this for 4 years and I thought that by now I understood at least the basic rules but I still get surprised. Unfortunately, sometimes the person at the other end of the phone doesn't understand the rules either and then it really gets confusing. Thank goodness I only have one timeshare system to figure out.

Here is one for Spence that I am still fuzzy on. If I want to make a two week reservation with the maximum lead time in order to get unit assignment priority do I call 52 weeks out from the check in date (no! I was told by DRS reservations), 52 weeks out from the 1st week checkout date, or 52 week out from the 2nd week checkout date? I think the answer is the last, 52 weeks from the 2nd week checkout date. Supposedly when you make 2 week reservations your reservations get prioritized over 1 week reservations so the extra weeks delay is moot. But this year I called 52 weeks out from the 1st week checkout date and they took the entire reservation. Am I going to jail?

I can't ever get a consistent 'take' on this one, it's a very good question.
