I'm a little earlier than usual here, but I'm going out of town next week, and I don't want to forget: Banking deadlines have changed, and it's based on your Marriott "benefit level" - they don't use the Vistana "Elite" member terms any more. You can find your Marriott benefit level by logging into your online Vistana Acct. and clicking on your blue name at the top of the page. As in the past, you can bank online by clicking the Staroption Banking link at the top of the same page. Banking is free now.

Select owners - June 30
Executive/Presidential owners - Aug. 31
Chairman - Oct. 31

Thanks for the reminder. Just to confirm. This is for 2024 (current year points) not for 2025 point banking into 2026, right?

It's for 2024 - you can't bank 2025, yet.

I keep forgetting that banking is free now. I'm just Select, so it's already too late for me, but had I remembered, I would have banked the 2,000 or so I have left for this year.
