Hi there. I have a question about booking strategy for a 3BR Grand Villa at SSR for March of 2025. For the reservation, we will need a total of 679 points. We own 295 SSR points and 150 VGF points, all with a December UY. We currently have 52 points left on our VGF contract for UY 2023 that I plan to bank in July. I can almost cover the reservation by using all of the 2024 points and borrowing all the 2025 SSR points (590 total). I can use the 52 banked points from the 2023 VGF and then borrow use some of the 2024 VGF points.
Here's my question. The window just opened for home-resort advantage booking at SSR, and I can cover 6 of the 7 nights we will need by using the 2024 and borrowing the 2025 SSR points. Should I go ahead and book those nights now and then pick up the last night with my VGF points when the 7-month window opens? Or should I just wait until the 7-month window opens and do it all in one reservation? We typically get 2BR villas at SSR, so I have a good feel for demand patterns with those. I don't know how quickly the 3BR Grand Villas there book up for mid-March dates.
