As a reminder, the Use Year for all members begins January 1st and ends December 31st.

Go to www.divivacationclub.com, log in to your Member Site and go to “Banking, Borrowing & More.” Under Banking Pure Points, click the link to log in to your Personal Account (please make sure you have established a Personal Account login - see page 2). • Make sure you are in the "Member Options" tab.
