Any points used for a booking that is canceled within 30 days prior to the reservation date are subject to go into a holding account. This means that those points are locked in and must be used within the current Use Year. If you cannot book another trip using those points before your Use Year starts anew, those points are LOST!

One misconception about DVC Use Year is that you must wait until the Use Year begins to book a reservation for that year. Luckily, this is NOT true!  Booking windows are a completely separate topic. You can book reservations 11 months prior at your home resort or 7 months prior at any other DVC resort, regardless of what DVC Use Year you have. Swipe up to read more!
