DMP Tag Question

[magnumhunt]

I went with my uncle to apply for DMP tag and he had 4 Preference points. Usually when you have 4 your chances are pretty high in getting it. I told him lets see if I get a DMP and if I do for him to not apply for DMP because one doe tag is good enough for the both of us. However the guy at the store said if my uncle doesn't apply this year he would lose the 4 points he had. I tried researching and cant find anything on this, and if the guy gave us false information I would be very upset. Can anyone give feedback on this?

I heard that also if you dont use it you lose it. however last year I didnt get my first choice and I never go any preference points. same as this year
