You have to borrow the points to complete making the reservation. If you don't have enough points to make the reservation, you can't book it.Going to try and see if this would get answered without starting a new thread.
If I need to borrow points to make a reservation, when does the "borrowing" actually occur? When I click to authorize borrowing DURING the process of booking a reservation? Or AFTER I have successfully make the reservation?
In other words, would borrowing still occur after I authorize it, but fail to finalize the booking because the inventory is already gone after I click "book"? TIA.

Just saw another part of your post. if you get to the screen that allows you to borrow, as long as you complete the process within 20 mimutes, you won’t lose the room.
It puts it on hold for that length of time. But, if you decide to not book the room at the last step and just go back to home page without booking, your points will not be borrowed as they only do that when you actually have a room booked!
