Managing two use years

[Girlstar30]

So I just had an offer accepted for a December Use Year when I'm currently closing on a February Use Year. Did I just make a huge mistake if I want to use all the points to take the same vacation twice a year? I usually like to travel in September and May. In my head, I was thinking it was a good idea because the months are so close together. But I didn't realize one is at the very beginning and one is at the end and not just "two months apart." So I'm assuming let's say i want to use my February 2025 and December 2025 points to take a vacation may 2026... I'm going to just have to bank my February 2025 points into 2026 and then I'll have my December 2025 to use with them all together in February 2026 and the December ones wont expire until November 30 2026 and the february ones until january 31 2026? I already have a headache thinking about this and it's not too late to back out

Your explanation makes my head hurt

Edit
I need to think about this for a second. lol

Ok… you can use Dec 2025 and Feb 2026 for a trip in May 2026.
Beyond that, I think you’re making it harder than needed.

I edited my post to add my thoughts. lol

The only real catch is different memberships so you use different contracts/memberships to book different resorts, so if you’re doing a split stay you’ll probably book one resort with one contract then book the other resort with the other contract.
Then you can combine the points at 7 months, to upgrade or add days, etc.

And February 2025 I can use too if I bank it right?

Yes you can always bank from a previous year, if done on time.

I edited my last post with more info too.

Dec 2024? Just started, so you could bank them if needed.
Feb 2024 just ended, so no those are gone.

Why did you do two UYs? Was it just because you thought it was a good deal or because the UYs aligned with specific travel goals?

If it was just over price, I would rescind if you are within 10 days.
