Keep in mind that DVC members are only allowed one transfer in/out per year. So if you were the owner, you can only transfer points once per year. But point transfers can be banked, so in theory you can transfer 2012 points and 2013 points, bank the 2012 points and combine with the 2013 points.

Tom (and all DVC TUGgers!),
Am I thinking about Usage Year correctly if I do end up buying one of these things?
Let's assume that I want to visit Aulani in June every Odd year, I think I'm best suited to a June/July/August anniversary? Naturally, I bank points from the Even years into the Odd year, but I'll need more via rent or trade.
Since it is very possible I would pursue trades to try and get the points needed, I would probably need a trade that provides points received in March/April of Even year before my anniversary date (which I then bank into the Odd year) and then another trade of points received in the August/September Even year after my anniversary date, so I have the sufficient points I need when Aulani opens up in November at 7 months before the Odd year reservation?
I think that would work, but would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks very much!
Greg
