Moving current Use Year Vacation Points
to the next Use Year.
One of the great advantages you have as a Disney
Vacation Club Member is vacation flexibility. Some years, you
may not be able to take enough time away from home to use all your
Vacation Points. Other years, you may want to set your sights on
a longer vacation than your current Vacation Points would allow.
Banking Vacation Points for future use can help you reach your goals.
The earlier you make a banking request,
the more Vacation Points you can bank:
- If you contact Member Services to bank
your Vacation Points during the first six months of your Use Year,
you can bank as many as 100% of this year's Vacation Points to
use next year.
- If you contact Member Services to bank
your Vacation Points with three to six months left in your Use
Year, you can bank up to 50% of this year's Vacation Points to
next year.
- If you contact Member Services to bank
your Vacation Points with three months left in your Use Year,
you can bank up to 25% of this year's Vacation Points to next
year.
- If you do not contact Member Services
to bank your Vacation Points, or if you call within the last two
months of your Use Year, you cannot bank your Vacation Points
for next year! So please, plan ahead.
- If your banking deadline falls on a weekend, you must complete
your transaction by the Friday before your deadline.
- Sign up for Member
Exclusive Emails and receive "friendly" email Banking
reminders.

This chart gives you monthly deadlines for
banking Vacation Points. Find your Use Year, and note the three
months you need to remember.
A reminder: Banking percentages are based on the cumulative
number of Vacation Points banked as of the banking deadline.
Instead of banking your Vacation Points, you may be able to use
them to reserve a seven-night stay in a one- or two-bedroom Vacation
Home at your Home Resort, then deposit that week through the World
Passport Collection for exchange use within the next two years.
Or perhaps you have a handful of Vacation
Points you don't know what to do with. You might take someone special
away for the weekend to any number of getaway options found in the
Concierge Collection. Or, if you don't have time for a long
vacation this year, you can book a three-day stay at a favorite
Walt Disney World® Resort hotel. With Disney Vacation
Club, your choices are practically endless.
Percentages for each banking window refer to the total annual allotment
of Vacation Points—not the available number of Vacation Points.
For instance: If you have an allotment of 200 Vacation Points with
an August Use Year, you can bank up to 200 of them between August
1 and January 31; you can bank up to 100 of them between February
1 and April 30; and you can bank up to 50 of them between May 1
and May 31.
- Vacation Points can only be banked from
your current Use Year into the following Use Year.
- Vacation Points can only be banked one
time. If banked Vacation Points are not used by the end of the
Use Year they have been banked into, they will expire.
- Vacation Points that have been banked
cannot be returned to their original Use Year.
- Banked Vacation Points cannot be borrowed
or transferred.
- Banked Vacation Points may be applied
to all exchange program reservations, including other Disney
Vacation Club Resorts, The Disney Collection, World
Passport Collection, Concierge Collection, and Adventurer
Collection.
- You will be given a banking transaction number
when you bank Vacation Points. Since you will not receive confirmation
of the banking transaction in writing, please record the number
in a secure spot.
Example
Let's say your Use Year begins in February,
and your annual Vacation Points allotment is 400 Vacation Points.
In March, you decide to bank some of your Vacation Points. Since
you are in the first six months of your Use Year, you can bank all
400 Vacation Points into your next Use Year. However, you choose
to bank only 150 Vacation Points at this time. In August, you decide
to bank more of your Vacation Points. While you still have 250 Vacation
Points available in your current Use Year, you can only bank up
to 50 more Vacation Points. Because you are now in the third quarter
of your Use Year, you can bank Vacation Points until the total bank
reaches 50% of your annual allotment. When these 50 Vacation Points
are added to the 150 Vacation Points already in your bank, your
total banked to date will equal 200 Vacation Points—or 50%
of your annual allotment. Once your bank is "full," you
cannot bank any more Vacation Points during your current Use Year.
