Good morning,

My wife and I bought a bi-annual even (9300 points) beginning of the year. Part of the purchase included rescue points from 2014.

This year got away from us and we are already well into the 2nd half of '15.

Our one-year wedding anniversary is this sept and we hope to use the points to stay at the 57th in NYC. But the club window isnt open yet and I know they prob wont have availability.

what are my options for the points?

can i use them for RCI this year?
can i convert them to RCI to use for next year?
can i convert them to HHonors points?

thank you!

If you're flexible in your dates, and only need 1/2 nights, I can almost guarantee you'll be able to get at least one night sometime in Sept. at W. 57th in a studio, but you'll have to probably call in to get the reservation (Revolution won't usually let you book anything under the 3 night minimum for some reason). But that wouldn't consume 9300 points.

That being said:

I think you can deposit those rescued points into RCI and get another year or two out of them? (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

With a deposit to the RCI program, you'll extend their life by one year.
You can also use them to a future stay at an RCI property w/o a deposit.
The system will draw them first, in calendar order.
