I just bought a Bay Club unit (2 bedroom penthouse - EOY odd, 7000 pts) from Sumday. I suppose it will close in 1 - 2 months. I have 2017 usage but I will not be able to use the points this year. We would like to use them in 2018 or 2019 for Italy (if possible). I have read lots of threads and the stickies and I am still confused about how I will use those points for a later year reservation.
Can I just make the reservation in 2017 for 2018 or do the points have to be utilized in the use year? Do I "save" them first? Also, if I don't use up all of those points, would depositing the balance into RCI extend them for the longest period of time? For the record, we plan on using this unit at least half the time. I know that it is probably not the best per point purchase I could have made, but we truly prefer eoy contracts. (I know about the club dues - it is what it is )
Sorry - I know that these are basic questions but I am a learn by doing kind of person.
