I just got off the phone with a HGVC reservation counselor, "Justine". I was calling to rescue some 2008 points into 2009 for a 2009 reservation I wanted to make. I had tried to do it online, but kept getting an error message - therefore the call. Justine told me that there is a new program that I could sign up for over the phone, free of charge, that takes any expiring points at 11:59 PM on December 31 and automatically either rescues them into the next year or deposits them into RCI. Where they go depends on the member: a.) having expiring points, b.) opting for the program, and c.) designating which way the points are to go (rescue or RCI). She told me that I could change my nomination from rescue, which I selected, to RCI as long as I did it no later than Dec. 15 of the same year. She said that this was HGVC's effort to take some of the hassle out of waiting on hold at the end of the year. I know that the program can be opted into free of charge, but I'm assuming the standard fees would apply for the rescue when it occurs.
I think this is an excellent option and I will take advantage of it!
I hope this is helpful to some of you.
