Confused - What's the status of 2020 points?

[Blues]

Title says it all. I have a lot of 2020 points and would like to book in 2021. In a normal year, I'd have to first pay to save this year's points so I don't lose them. I haven't really been paying attention to the talk of 2019, 2020, 2021 points. I know that in some cases, the points are getting moved to where they can be used later. Is that the case for normal 2020 points? That is, if I book 2021 online now, will it use my 2020 points or do I need to do a save? Thanks.

You need to save 2020 points into 2021, in order to use them in a 2021 reservation.

We are waiting until travel restrictions are lifted to consider our next step and how it will impact future inventory availability. Once we reach a decision, we will share it with you via email or through updates on this page.

I paid when the discount was offered through Mar. If they offer it for free I will go back and ask for a refund back, or ask them to roll it over to 2021 points, which I will have lots too.

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I recall seeing a message like this. The point about future availability is a good one. Everyone's building up a backlog of unused points right now. When the dam breaks, getting a ressie might be difficult.

... When the dam breaks, getting a ressie might be difficult.

... which is why I went ahead and used the rest of my 2020 points.
I recently booked HGVC for December and an RCI stay for 2021.
The rest of you's guys can fight over the crumbs. <shrug>

I paid as well and will as for the money back if they give it for free. They're already waiving reservation fees for free, and this is something I paid for in conjunction with my bHC dues. I'm letting that one go, but will not let both go. Actually, if I do need to eventually call about the Saving fee refund I may ask about the other as well while I'm at it.

Cheers.
