How do the online changeable reservations work?

I have an EOY with my points this year.
What happens if I need to change the reservation?

Do those points expire at the end of the year if I can't
find another reservation online?

Can I still rescue or deposit those points to RCI,
or that is no longer an option?

Thanks.

You can change the reservation to any other date or resort, but only within this calendar year.

If you need to Save the points into next year the reservation must be canceled to return the points to your account, losing the reservation fee.

You can Save this years points to next year for a fee, keeping them as HGVC points.

You can also deposit into RCI, that is a one way move, no getting them back as HGVC points.

You can get 2 extra years of use by Saving first, then depositing into RCI at the end of the next year.

You can avoid the RCI deposit fee by booking direct into RCI while they are still HGVC points.

You could Save them now by paying the fee, then make a 2020 booking and borrow your 2021 points for no fee, thus being able to use two years of EOY points.

You don't need to save the points first. If you deposit current year points into RCI, it extends the expiration 2 years. However, if you deposit saved points into RCI, it only extends their expiration 1 year. Same net result either way, but no need to first save the points first and then deposit them to RCI, as that route would require two fees instead of one.
