In the manual, and online, it says that 1 point is required for every 77000 points. Is that contract points, or available points? I have 128000 points, so I have 1 RT (used for our reservation at Glacier Canyon on the 2nd Week of September).

What I mean is, say I put 26000 points into the Credit Pool before Jan 1st (Anniversary), which would give us 154000 for 2013. Would that mean I now have 2 RTs, or would I have to buy (resale) at least 26000 points?

Thanks!
TS

I sense some confusion

Its not that one reservation transaction is required for every 77000 points, rather you get one for every 77000 points and it sounds like you used yours...next year you will get another one

Regarding the 26000 points...
if they are 2011 points you cant put them in the points credit pool. its too late for that. And you cant deposit them with RCI ether, as the minimum deposit ii 27000 points (if you could it would cost you an additional transaction fee that you dont have so you would have to pay $30)

It really sounds like you will lose the 26000 points unless you take a 2 or 3 day trip between now and the end of the year(which will cost you $30 for the transaction)

Just to clarify... We reserved one week (6 nights starting 9/6/12) at Glacier Canyon, and from the 128000 points, we'll only use 49000 (Quiet Week). We want to use the remainder for a 3-day vacation at OceanWalk or Bonnet Creek over Christmas 2012 (both are about a half hour away from our home), and yes, we'll have to pay $30.

And to clarify my question: if we put 26000 points in the Credit Pool before 12/31, meaning we would have 154000 total in 2013, would that give us 2 RTs for 2013? Or would we have to buy another contract (resale) to get the extra RT? I know paying $30 instead of another contract is reasonable, just wondering.

I was confused..I thought you were trying to save some 2011 points

if you put 26000 2012 points into the points credit pool it will cost $39 to do that and these points will be available to use with your regular issue of points in 2013 (total = 128+26 = 154)

You will only get the 1 reservation transaction however. (you get one for every 77000 points you own each year.

Remember though; if you are able to plan ahead and make several reservations in one day, you will only be charged with the one transaction

I wouldnt buy more points just to get another transaction...IId my more points only if you need them for the vacations you want to take

Also to point out that "each year" means that you get one each year - it has no bearing on which use year's points you use it for. For example, suppose that I hadn't used my reservation transaction for 2011 yet - come December, I could potentially use it for a last minute 2011 reservation, a 10-month reservation in 2012, or even a 2013 reservation at my ARP resort. Or any combination of the above processed in a single day, as Ron pointed out.
