My activity shows transactions dated all the way back to 2014 when we initially bought our ownership, but it looks like only transactions for use years 2016 forward are shown. The 2015 use year transactions are not shown. Stated another way, all transactions for use years 2016-2020 show up online, even if those transaction took place in 2014 or 2015, but no transactions for 2015 or prior years are shown. Those 2016-2020 transactions include trust point deposits, point elections for our enrolled Barony week, banking, and borrowing. No point transfers-in (point rentals) are shown in the history.
I agree that it is a system flaw that transferred points transactions are not shown on the transaction history. Clearly that's the way the system is working, but I think it is a hole in the system that should be fixed. It makes no sense that these transactions should be omitted from the history.
Thank you for those details.
I know I said the 100 was no big deal but I'm one to balance a checkbook to the penny. I had to try to find it. As I did I found other failings to the online accounting.
My 2016 points in and points out balanced to 0.
In 2017 it wasn't so easy. Points in and points out differed by +2300. There is no line item in the Points Adjustment Transactions that those 2300 were Banked to '18.
This shows that the online account, in my case, can't be relied upon for an accurate tally and the "system" can make mistakes.
So I went to tally '18. Points in and points out differ by -2200. Obviously, they came from the 2300 left in '17 although there is no line adjustment saying they did. Here is where the missing 100 shows up. The missing 100 may have been left in '17 and expired. I remember talking to an OS rep about what could be done with points that were past banking but not able to use in a reservation. He suggested I use them as cash at a resort (pennies on the dollar). Either I forgot to use them or I didn't go to a resort in time to use them before expiration. At most it's a $50 loss. I mentally counter that with the value I actually received for the other +20K points.
Getting to a 0 at the end of the year is a tricky business.
It also clarified that the 100 points doesn't have anything to do with the oddity of the 15,100 transfer. I can account for all 15,100 transferred points being used in reservations.
Another failing to the online account are obvious errors and their corrections. When I was going through my Points Adjustment Transactions I had to remember to skip over 3 line items that were obviously noted in error and subsequently corrected. Somehow the "system" or operator error noted these by mistake and they had to be removed.
This is more indication that mistakes can be made.
In the end, my account balances. It was not an easy process because I had to find OS reps who would bother to look at history that I do not have online nor can I request a print out of this history. The attitude of the OS reps varied widely. This is something I'm going to pursue with MVC by asking for the call recordings be reviewed. I'm also planning to submit in writing the failing that the online account does not note all deposits and credits (i.e., transfers).
The answer that OS reps can provide this is lame. The time involved is enough to make this a problem. The attitude and accuracy of the reps is another problem. I had multiple wrong answers from the different reps I spoke to. Even the sweetheart of a rep who helped get me to a starting balance in 2016 would tally and tally and then tell me she couldn't find 400 points. She had to go to a supervisor and found out it was a transfer. A couple times she said she needed another pair of eyes to look for something. Then she would apologize and say she needed to start again. The call was over 3 hours. In the end she made an error with the accounting of one transfer. She told me it was 1350. After the call I found an email saying it was 1375. I then called two more times to get a rep who would look for this transaction and tell me how many points was actually credited. He found the transfer was actually in two transactions, one for 1350 and one for 25. My sweetheart rep missed the 25. She's still my favorite
During this process my numbers and differences have been all over the place. Sometimes because of misinformation or omitted transactions by OS reps or my own math mistakes. I knew it had to be spot on to be accurate. Being a former bank teller I know that an error means something is wrong and it's not necessarily obvious from the difference you're looking at.
