Hi all. We are still newbies with using our DVC membership, so I want to make sure I understand how it all works.
Is there a distinction for how points are used when you borrow in? Will borrowed points always be used first regardless of when the reservation was booked? For example, I used my August UY 2018 and some of my 2019 to book a split stay at my home resort, 2 separate room types, a studio then moved to a 1B. I did this because I knew I wanted to try to switch the studio ressie at the 7 month window to the Poly but ensure I had something if I couldn’t get everything I wanted.
So now that I’m ready to start stalking and waitlisting the Poly, I’m trying to understand how the points will work. If I borrowed points in from 2019 to make new reservations at the Poly after I’ve alread got confirmed reservations in Oct 18 with all my 2018 points, will the 2018 points that get canceled be able to be banked at the end of Mar 2019 to my August 2019 UY?
Or, should I just cancel the nights at WL individually as the nights become available at the Poly? I’m still going to have to borrow 2019 points in that scenario because Poly is more than WL. I just want to make sure I understand how all this will work before I start canceling.
I hope all that makes sense!! Please help the newbie, pros!! TIA
