Tom called MS and had it verified that borrowed points are being returned with no end date as of now.
I have suffered health setback, and December trip with DH is in jeopardy, all points there are borrowed. That was our motivation to find out. NJ requires quarantine...I want PT, can’t do both.
I have an AUG UY. We used 100 points from 2021 but our Jessie is in July21 so if I understand right if we cancel the 100 points go back into 2021 and not 2020?

Thank you, this means a lot to me. I hope sometime we are near each other and we KNOW it!I am so sorry to hear this. Even though we have never spoken face to face, we have "talked" through threads and I believe one December we were right across from each another in studios at Boardwalk and didn't know it until later. You are an important part of my Dis'er family. Hope you recover quickly.

Sending well wishes!Just had to cancel our January trip due to DWs health issues as well - the exemption to return borrowed points is still valid as of Wednesday 28 Oct but the cast member I spoke with said it was likely 'ending soon' if anyone's on the fence.
Apologies for hijacking this thread, but on a somewhat related note is the temporary change to holding still in effect (i.e. that trips cancelled within 30 days will not be put into holding)?
We have an upcoming trip to Aulani this Xmas, but as we are in Canada we (at the moment) still cannot go without quarantining on arrival (as Hawaii has not yet signed on any “trusted partners” for the pre-arrival COVID test in Canada). I’d like to wait as long as possible before cancelling in the hope that they work something out re incoming tourists from Canada, but I don’t want to risk having such a large chunk of points go into holding, so wondering if my cut-off for cancelling is still 30 days before arrival.
If anything, I'd assume the 50% borrowing limit applies going forward until something different is announced. The conditions that support the restriction still exist, and will probably continue into 2022 and possibly longer.I'm out of the loop on this policy and don't see it written anywhere. I experimented with my 2021 UY reservation that has 2022 borrowed points out of curiosity, and it says if I cancel, the borrowed points will be returned to the 2021 UY. It must not apply for borrowed 2022 points I assume, or else it not in effect any longer?
I guess I'm misunderstanding what the OP is about. I know about the 50% limit. I just don't understand what it has to do with returning borrowed points.If anything, I'd assume the 50% borrowing limit applies going forward until something different is announced.

I had borrowed 2022 points returned and I wasn't expecting it at all. It took a few days after I cancelled.
Ah, so that is some new information. My current reservation in question is way out there at 11 months and I'm not really married to it, it was just a whim. I may cancel it as an experiment to see what happens.
