What is a year, in transfers?

[MinnieMe2669]

I know you can do one transfer per year, but what is the year? MY Use Year? I have an August UY, so does that mean within each of my years...August 1 - July 31? So, can I do a transfer on July 31 and then again the next day on August 1? Or, say I do a transfer TODAY, October 23rd, do I have to wait until October 23 next year or after for my next one. OR, third scenario, in a calendar year...meaning 2024, 2025, etc?

Sorry, tried to find this answer and couldn't.

Yes, it’s one transfer, in or out, per UY per membership. So you could transfer points in or out on July 31 and again on August 1, but that would be all for each UY, if the transferred points are coming from or going to another owner.

If you have more than one membership (different from having more than one contract), MS will usually allow you to transfer from one to another more than once per UY.

Transfer goes by use year and you are allowed to transfer points once per use year. However, you can actually do two transfers on the same day. That is because, at any given time that you are in a use year, you can transfer points in that use year and in the next use year. Thus, for example, with an August use year, you could transfer points from the Aug 2024 use year on August 1, 2024, and, on the same day, transfer points from your Aug 2025 use year.

Thus, as to your question, you could transfer points for the Aug 2024 use year today, Oct 23, 2024, and then, moments later, do another transfer of Aug 2025 points.

So reviving this..

I have a JUN UY.

I am receiving a cache of DEC 2024 UY of points. Does that DEC 2024 UY at all impact the next time I am able to receive a transfer? Or is it solely based on my own UY month?

If the DEC UY month is irrelevant, and only the year will the DEC 2024 UY points will count against my own JUN 2024 UY transfer? Or will they be charged against my JUN 2025 UY Transfer allowance since we are in the calendar year 2025?

Thanks for replies

If you received Dec 2024 UY points, that counts as your 2024 transfer.

The next set of points you can get must be 2025 UY points,

It’s all about the UY of the points you get…now, they remain Dec 2024 UY points while sitting in your account and follow that use date.

Any idea what happens if the points by the person giving the transfer has them spread across TWO contracts (same login for them) going to me with just ONE contract.

Is that even possible? Or will I have to pick which set of points to receive and keep it 1:1?

Curious what Disney considers to be a “transaction” for the one transfer in per year.

Thanks for helping my newness understand

Each membership can transfer points out once per UY…if they have more than once contract in that membership, then they can transfer any combination as long as they are going to the same membership.

For example, I could transfer some of my SSR and RIV to the same membership from my Aug UY.

But, I can’t transfer some SSR to one membership and some RIV to another, even those are owned by the same person or I want to do it in the same call.

I have three memberships, but just one log in. So, it goes by membership.

Hi
If transfer is made by same owner (different memberships)… will the transferred points be visible in dashboard and available for online booking?

I have had transfers from other owners and I had to call to use them and those pts weren't at the dashboard

Thanks!

Same rules. You don’t see them until you go to book…and need to call if you want to use during home resort period for those points.

7 months or less, all transferred points seem to work online.
