Holding Points Question - The DVC Boards at MouseOwners.com - the place to talk DVC and Walt Disney World

Hi all,

I have a small amount of points in holding (UY Oct) and I have a trip planned in mid September. Once the 60 day mark comes up, can I have member services switch out my the "kind" of points I'm using on my existing reservation? So that I use my holding points first and then get back my regular points?

My home resort is VGC and there is just nothing available in the time that I need! Any assistance would be appreciated. TIA.

They can't switch out points to use points in holding. The only way it could be done is if there is availability to cancel and rebook.

Only if there is still availability remaining for what you have reserved.

I feared that was the answer. Thanks!

Never hurts to ask MS though when the time comes.
