I logged in today and found my account balance for 2012 increased by 4,800 points. I didn't buy anything and all my reservations are intact. Anyone else find a gift like this in their account?

Maybe from miscoding an account number or mis-crediting a "borrow."

A teller once put my deposit in a different account than what I intended.
I noticed the error and he fixed it by crediting the correct account.
But he failed to debit the other, giving me 2x the deposit between them.
.... until I mentioned it.

I'm guessing I shouldn't book with these points since they'll likely catch on, right?

The math doesn't even make sense. 14,400 - 9,250 -130 was 5,020. Like magic, it's 9,820.

2012 14,400 -9250 -130 0 0 9,820 12/31/2012
2013 14,400 -4800 0 0 0 9,600 12/31/2013
2014 14,400 -4800 0 0 0 9,600 12/31/2014

I think its showing you borrowed the 4800 from future years? Mine looks off too since I used this years points last year.

The -4,800 is from the auto-booking of my fixed week in 2013 and 2014. The 2012 points I used in 2011 are the -130 shown.

For months my screen has looked the same and nothing has changed in regards to my reservations. It's a random deposit for 2012 I can assure you. I should only have 5,020 points left for 2012.
