You are past the final date to roll over into next year. I always roll over my Points in January. If I need to use them in the current year DRI rolls them back.

Yes, I was aware of that. Unfortunately we had to cancel a trip in Sept and the points were redeposited on our account. I was/am hoping a fellow Tugger had figured out a "work-around".

The only possible work around for points that can't be rolled would have been to utilize II but that option stops on 31 Oct and we are into Nov.

I suggest sending a family member or a good friend on a trip. They might even give you some money for the vacation.

I am in a worse situation with Diamond Resorts.
This is December 29 and I have 67,000 points expiring in 2 days.
I have had personal emergencies all year and was unable to travel.
Unfortunately,when we went for our update 2 days ago, the sales department only wanted to sell the so-called redemption program to me for another $20,000 before they would allow me to roll my points into 2020.
I did not accept their offer as I do not believe them that the redemption points can be used to pay our maintenance fees in the future.
I will really like get out of my almost $9000 maintenance fees but it looks like I am trapped.
Any advice?

Ebute.....Suggestion only call them ASAP and ask for a supervisor or a manager and tell them what happen.
As my old college professor told us always "ask for forgiveness," Dr. Chong Pak.

67,000 points must be at least 3 - 4 seven (7) nights vacations or more.
