Can I do this?
I currently have a 4- night reservation (Sun-Wed) at HHI for Spring Break in a 2BR for April 2020 that I booked at the 11-month mark using our HHI points. I have 150 HHI points available (50 point contract, 2019 banked, 2020 current and 2021 borrowed) but we are planning to stay 5 nights which requires 165 points. I went ahead and booked the first 4 nights which used 132 of my 150 HHI points. At the 7-month mark, I need to make it a 5-night reservation. My first thought was to wait until 7 months out FROM THURSDAY and book the final night using my remaining 18 HHI points plus 13 of my AKV points. This would be the easiest option....but the pessimist in me is very nervous that if I wait, that day might book up before I can book it, leaving me on the wait list, or without a room altogether. So, I'm wondering...
At the 7-month window FROM SUNDAY, can I DROP the first day (Sunday) and then REBOOK it with my 13 AKV and 18 HHI points (assuming it's available)? That would free up the 33 HHI points that I would need to book the final (Thursday) night which I could then add on to the end of the trip since they would be home-resort points. When booking online, is there a way to tell how many points from which contract you want to use for a particular reservation or does it just ask which contract you want to use? I am almost 100% sure that I would need to call MS to do this. I think that our Spring Break is going to coincide with Easter next year which is why I am a little nervous about getting this reservation.
