Are DP good for 2 yrs after usage year?

Sorry for the stupid question - just don't have experience using DPs from newly enrolled wks.

Are 2018 points available for usage thru the end of 2020? They just need to be banked for use in 2019 and 2020 - is the correct??

See info in sticky:

Banking - Points may be banked from their original Use Year to a usage period immediately following; the usage period and election deadlines are based on status:

• Owners and Select Members may bank Points to the next Use Year; the election deadline is six months prior to the end of the original Use Year
• Executive Members may bank Points to the next Use Year; the election deadline is four months prior to the end of the original Use Year
• Presidential Members may bank Points to the next 18-months usage period; the election deadline is four months prior to the end of the original Use Year
• Chairman's Club Members may bank Points to the next 24-months usage period; the election deadline is four months prior to the end of the original Use Year.

Once banked, such Points cannot be further banked, transferred, or borrowed back into their original Use Year. Banked Points will expire if they are not used prior to the end of the usage period to which they were banked. (*See "Waitlist Requests" and "Cancellations" below.)

I am really dense with points - as I have only traded both RCI and Marriott weeks for the last 30yrs.

So the 2018 DPs are only available for use thru the end of 2019 - is that correct?

For most owners, that is correct. One of the perks of the Presidential and Chairman owner levels is an even longer life to the banked Points, but for the majority of owners, a one year extension will be the right answer.

Best,
