I am currently NOT a DVC member, but I will be buying 200 points at BLT on Oct 4th. When I talked to my agent last week, she told me that they are currently selling Feb UY. We typically go in Dec, and I don't believe that will change.
That being said, I was just reading on another site that there is a difference between different UY if you visit at the same time every year. It claimed that it is undesirable to have a UY any less than 5 months before you visit. Said it was because you can not bank points in the last 4 months of your UY. I guess this would only come in to play with a cancellation that is 4 months or less from my UY.
The other site also claimed that I could request a different UY when I purchase if I wanted. Does anyone know if this is correct?
If I understand this correctly, if we have a Dec reservation with a Feb UY, we would need to cancel before Sept 30 and still be able to bank the points. If would cancel anytime from Oct 1 to 31 days before our reservation, we would need to use those points before Jan 31. Since there are no May or July UY, I should request a June UY?
Please help. I thought I had this all figured out!
