We do. Two studios at grand Floridian in June. Each 8 nights. So I can modify those reservations and use the in holding points?Do you have any other trips booked before than? You can modify that at 60 days and it should pick them up for you and free to others to bank.
If not, you could try to book and rent something out. I don’t know about II.
Once you hit the 60 day mark from check in you can modify and it will take the holding points.We do. Two studios at grand Floridian in June. Each 8 nights. So I can modify those reservations and use the in holding points?
Unless you used the 11-month privilege to book the VGF studios and the holding points are not VGF. Then you cannot use those I thinkWe do. Two studios at grand Floridian in June. Each 8 nights. So I can modify those reservations and use the in holding points?
that’s incorrect unless it is a new change. I’ve done it before.I chatted member services and they said the points can’t be reallocated to a reservation already booked. Points in holding can only be used for new reservations.

Yes, that's the definition. But, again, 2 of us (and others if you search Disboards) are simply stating that we have used holding points on existing reservations, one as recently as 2 days ago.
Hopefully this works and I will still have time to bank the other points by May 31st.Modifying a reservation within the window (but obviously not so close that the “switched out” points end up in holding) online works fine to use up points in holding. Just do it via modify so you don’t lose the res.
As the definition says, “Any change is considered a cancel and rebook.”
Correct, you need to be between 31 and 60 days out when making the modification for it to work.I just modified an AUL reservation (6 nights made at 11 month, check in less than 30 days), in the hopes of using up 19 AUL points in holding and it didn’t work.
As I am typing this I realized it needs to be at least 30 days out? Because the existing AUL reservation points would be in holding as it is less than 30 days. Doh!
Good thing I have another reservation in April that was booked at 7-months. Gotta remember the 30-60 days part.
