If that was always the deadline, then yes, it did get extended as well.If points was extended was the deadline for moving points to RCI extended too?
I mean normally it’s 45 days before they expire (IIRC)

I'll at least put it into RCI if DVC doesn't do anything better for us before then.It’s not anyone’s first choice of points use, but we had an excellent time at an RCI Resort. Don‘t just think it’s not worth anything.
There is another option.....We are just resigned to possibly losing our 289 points if we are unable to travel before they expire. One of the risks of timeshares I suppose. Disney unborrowed points for us, for which I was grateful. We banked 289 and hope to use them before November 2021, but who knows at this point? No interest in RCI so if it comes to it, they’ll expire.
I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately we don’t have any such acquaintances.There is another option.....
Have a dear friend within driving distance of WDW? DONATE the points to them.
That's what we did. WDW was gonna rob us anyway - so we chose to get "robbed" in a fashion that helped someone else, and denied WDW the ability to rent out our points. Revenge and "feel good" at the same time .

WDW can't steal our points... and a wonderful family with two dear daughters gets lodging, for their early DEC vacation .
Why not look into renting out the points. Honestly with the park attendance being so low, flights being cheap and still some availability - you might be able to get a little something. Maybe make the deal sweet and not ask top dollar - maybe $10-12 pp to cover MF plus a little extra.So now what?
Rent out your points for btwn $12-14. People are looking to book in September, October and November.I feel your pain....September use year banked 106 points set to expire November....some days it really bothers me ...some days I'm happy my family is healthy....
I'd never give a stranger access to my account.I rented out my points through dvcstore.com. I gave them access to my account, had to sign a few PDF documents, and that was it. It was better than just losing my 72 points that were going to expire in December.
