I didn't mean to hijack the other thread, but it was also about EOY. I want to be sure I'm clear, too. For example, if I were to buy 168K biennial points (in this case Wyndham La Cascada), does that mean I have two years from the anniversary date to use the 168K points? If the MF is $33/month, then the total MF for the points if $792 ($33 x 24 months)? I don't have to book full week stays, right? If this is correct, a biennial might be the best thing for me. That would make the MF/K $4.71. Does that sound reasonable?

You have only 1 year to use the points. There are ways to move the points to other use year though. But if your point is even year, you get 168k point that you can use to book trip starts at Jan 2008, and expired at Dec 2008. And 168k points from Jan 2010 to Dec 2010 .... You don't get 168k points you can use from Jan 2008 to Dec 2009.
The rest is correct.

OK, I think I understand. Assume, for example, that the 168K EOY even year usage begins 1/1/10, and I know that I want to use 48K for a long weekend at Bonnet Creek and another 48K for a long weekend in San Antonio, both in 2010. I want to save the remaining 72K for 2011. If I understand correctly, I would have to move the 120K into 2011 by 12/31/09. Otherwise, my only option would be to deposit them into RCI. Is that right?Comment

Or, you can put the entire 168k in the points pool prior to Jan 1, 2010 and you will have 3 years to use them.Comment

I think I'm going to keep watching auctions but wait to jump until I understand things a lot better!Comment

You can also use 2010 points in 2009, provided you are making a reservation within the 90 day express period in 2009. Example: in July 2009, you can reserve someplace for October 2009 and use the 2010 points. However, what you want to reserve may not be available at that time.Comment

It looks like I might have purchased the EOY Las Cascadas the OP was talking about so this is interesting to me. What is 90 day express period?Originally posted by MargeS View Post
I just got my deed today and might want to do a quick Disney trip to Bonnet Creek. Can I use my 2010 points for Bonnet Creek using the 90 day express? And if so how do I go about it? Thanks.

Today is Aug 30, 90 days means if you have trip start falling within 90 days (or upto Nov 28th?), it fall within express period, which you can borrow points from other period, and can make 1 night reservation. Kind like last min sale deal.

The only way to use 2010 points for a trip in 2009 is to credit pool your 2010 points. This has to be done before the use year starts. They will then be good to use from the date you credit pool them for 3 years. However, once you credit pool them you will not be able to use those points for ARP reservations (advance reservation period 13-10 months) or deposit them into RCI/II. (There is a way around depositing for exchange by making a reservation and then cancelling it ... points are returned as cancelled points and those can be deposited with RCI/II) There is a fee to credit pool points. Was $30 not sure if this has gone up or not.Originally posted by chriskre View PostI just got my deed today and might want to do a quick Disney trip to Bonnet Creek.

I guess I won't use my points this year then because I was hoping to deposit some of my points to RCI to be able to get something outside of Wyndham too. I'll have to use my DVC instead and try for Bonnet Creek next year.
Thanks.

Whatever length of time you are looking for, as long as it is within 90 days of check in, and is available, you can use 2010 points for it. They will ask you if you want to borrow from next year, or pay to rent the points from WYN.
I would check availability on line first, or (if your acct not set up yet) ask one of us to.Comment

Thanks Marge.
I called Disney today and used my DVC points instead. I guess I'll try for something later when I get my account set up. Thanks for the help.
