use year

Hi all, I'm so sorry I am having a complete brain fart and hoping this is a simple question. I have a DVC contract with a March use year. I would like to bank my 2024 points, but the dashboard won't let me. Do I need to wait until March 2024 to bank them? I read the FAQs etc and I think I'm just...

Just as I was closing on my VDH contracts, fate—or should I say, extreme add-on-itis—intervened. I stumbled upon a 477-point FW52 subsidized Aulani contract that had languished on the resale market. After geeking out on favorite weeks (FW) in the DisBoards forums, I snapped it up for a price...

Has anyone experienced use year regret? I have a Feb UY for my OKW contract. Originally my plan was to visit WDW in May which works perfect for this UY. However now as time goes on I’ve realized this UY is awful when trying to accommodate a December/January trip. Now if I still lived in CA I...

I'm planning to get my first direct DVC contract and wanted to get a general idea/survey of the following: What Use Year did you go with and why?

Hi all! I have banked points that will expire at the end of my use year 2023. My use year is April. I currently have a reservation starting on March 31, last day of use year, and checking out either April 1 or April 2. Can I use these banked/expiring points? Are they credited at checkin on Mar...

Thinking of adding on at VGF. We have two kids (8 and 1). Already own direct at OKW (150 points Dec UY) and resale with restrictions at SSR (190 Sept UY). If adding on think it makes sense to add onto OKW contract UY so we can book new properties with less frustration?

I am new to DVC and need some advice on purchasing. As of right now, we like to go to Disney twice a year: in Sept-Oct and Apr-May. Our thinking is to buy 150 direct points from RIV or VGF and then buy an additional resale 100 pts contract for Animal Kingdom. This way we will have 1) all the...

We are considering purchasing, but we are a bit confused on Use Year. How much does it matter? I know that we can book out 11 months from when we want to go, as long as we will have points at the time of check-in. So, if we tend to go in October, Early December, and February, what use year would...

Hello, I have points coming in September 2022, when my UY starts. It gives me the option to bank them. I thought the term was borrowing them but I have this all mixed up. Either way, if I banked them I can use them right away? Thank you. Rich Costa

Looking at a contract with 2021 points and a December use year. If I get passed ROFR guessing it would be done sometime in November. Does that mean I have a month or less to use those points? Not really sure how banking/using/borrowing works.

Why is it called Use Year when they are talking about the month your DVC points reset?

First time poster so please bear with me. I have an April Use Year contract. Currently, I have still have DVC points for 2020. I want to start making plans for the Magic Kingdom anniversary in October 2021. If I want to make that reservation in the next few weeks, can I still use my current...

Hi! I'm a longtime lurker and have been reading and researching as much as I can. We don't currently own but I'm hoping to make a purchase by the end of the year. Currently we usually travel in November/December or the beginning of June. I'm having trouble trying to pinpoint the best use year...

A little bit about me: -Recently sold my house, which allowed me to pay off my auto loan, student loans, and all credit card balances, with $6K left over to put into savings. -Recently accepted a new position with significantly higher earnings. -Parents will be retiring this year, and sister...

I am extremely flexible with my travel dates. I would want 11 month access to Home resort any time Between September 1 and January 31. What is the best use year month to be able to allow flexibility for these months?
