I have a June UY with an April reservation (still standing). I banked all of my remaining '19 points when I made the reservation for the Easter trip (all in one call intentionally done the way it was done). I knew that would be my last trip for my 2019 UY.
Now I have 181 points hanging in the wind. My points are like gold to me. I can't afford to simply throw those points away through no fault of my own (and I understand not DVC's either).
What I'm trying to wrap my arms around, simply because it may be my only method of relief at this point, is how can they do it for some and not so it for all? That's one of the most fundamental rules of law and common sense. "Oops. Sorry. You didn't do it in time." ain't gonna cut it.
I pretty much knew last week that my April 11-18 reservation wasn't going to happen, but in the interest of not overloading the call center knowing full well DVC would do the right thing and cancel my reservation and return/BANK my points anyway should the resort be closed, I chose not to be one of the ones overloading MS. Now I have to pay for trying to be a good DVC citizen? I think not.
UYs and their arbitrary assignment (because they were supposedly the only ones available) when making a retail purchase was a decision made by DVC when I bought. It's essentially a class in the legal sense, and you can't penalize me as a class when you don't penalize the other classes in the system simply because arbitrarily, this doesn't "happen" to affect them.
Have fun telling me why I'm wrong.
