I know that if I cancel points I have to use them within that use year. But do they transfer over to RCI and then have the 3 year window. I am a Platinum owner and usually book my RCI online. Thanks
No, they have a 2-year life in RCI, not 3 years.
Date of deposit makes a big difference. If you had deposited in JUL 13, the points would have expired on 8/31/15. It seems the late-year deposits (9/1-12/31) get the benefit of several extra months.Due to a massive change in plans, I dumped a large number of points into RCI in November of 2013. They have and expiration date of 8/31/2016 in RCI. That is just short of 3 years.
Unfortunately, Wyndham is not like Worldmark (in which you CAN use points that expire on 12/31/14 for reservations in 2015). The only thing that the Use Year requires is that the travel be initiated during that year. You can book the reservation up to 10 or 13 months out, which could be during the previous year.Does "use them" mean reserved AND complete travel within the same use year? Or is it possible to use cancelled points (that are expiring in 2015) to reserve (while still in 2015) a vacation for summer 2016?
I'm planning to reserve a Waikiki backup week for July 4th 2015 which I might cancel (in Jan 2015) if the same week in HGVC opens up. If I do cancel that backup week, can I then use the cancelled points to reserve a summer 2016 Bonnet Creek week before 2015 use year ends? Jan-Dec is my use yr.
Thanks!
