Do you need to call MVC desk to borrow points?

I am planning to bank unused points in August, I believe is the deadline for Presidential. I also hope to find some short (3-4 nights) Escapes or 60 days in discounted points booking in Oct/Nov locally for our mattress run to ensure that we reach our nights requirement before year end to get our lifetime status.

I know I can bank points online, but do I need to call to borrow?

I think I read that once banked, the points cannot be borrowed. Is that correct? We can borrow 2019's points.

Thank you very much!

Once points move (banked, transferred, etc) they can not move again.

As for borrowing, it’s done automatically at time of booking (either via online system or call to VOA). System will tell you it needs to use borrowed points to complete the ressie and ask you to confirm that is ok.

Thank you. I guess if we find an Escapes that we can use we will still need to call.
