at 11 months out, you need that home resort's points to book that home resort - pts from another resort won't work.



if you wanted to book BLT at 11 months out, you could only use pts from the BLT contract. you could use banked BLT pts, current BLT pts and borrowed BLT pts at the 11 month window (a total of 50+50+50 = 150 BLT pts every 3 years), but all of the pts from the AKV contract would be sidelined until the 7 month window.

same thing with booking AKV at 11 months out. you can use your AKV pts at 11 months, but it's like you didn't add-on the 50 BLT pts until you get to the 7 month window.

Thanks Charles. Ya after I read this the second time it kinda was a dumb question!

One last thing though that I get missed answers from. The members cruise. I know you have to use direct sales points now, but friends of ours last year didn't have enough points (direct) but were able to pay the diff in cash. Are they still allowing this so that with a small direct sale one can access the members cruise. They have gone on them each year since they started them and they really have a great time.
