Boy oh boy. With resorts closed and DVC members with weeks coming up, do the points go back to them to be used at a later time or do they expire and tough luck.
It all depends on the status of the points And an owners UY. Points that have been banked will not be banked again. I would assume the reasoning not to make an exception for this is that the member had the opportunity to use them but choose to move them forward.
Points that were borrowed..moved a year ahead of time...are being restored. This is not normal either, but I assume it is because you can only borrow to make a reservation. Since that reservation can’t happen, it is only right to move them back.
The key is that for however long the resorts are shut down, that is inventory that is unavailable. But that inventory has points allowed to it that are owned by members, So, depending on how long this lasts, there will be way more points available for booking than rooms and it will create a mess,
How to get out of it? No idea, but as a member I am planning and assuming I could end up with lost points. It’s the cost of owning something that can be impacted by natural disasters or pandemics.
I have both a May and June reservation coming up. May has points that borrowed but thr a June reservation is on a contract I am selling. So, if that doesn’t happen, then I’ll could be backing out of the sale since the price I accepted assumed those points gone or be stuck
Oh well.
