If you have timeshare points that were (or will be) canceled-- you only have until 9/30/20 to get it done. After Sept 30 the 120 day holding account offering ( made during the pandemic) will NOT be honored.

We had to cancel 2 nights this past April. This is fantastic news!
Now to get this virus down to nothing so life can somehow get back to normal.

Yes, because it's not like the pandemic is over. This will be with us for quite awhile, and I hope more companies realize that sooner rather than later.

Ok, I understand points will be returned to a 120 day Holding Account good until 12/2021 and that they can be used for Villas or select Explorer options. Can anyone define what those "select" Explorer options are? Hotels, cruises, Collette? I'm confused. Easily. Thanks.
