Hi.
Can anyone please help me with this scenario and if I can keep two reservations for the same overlapping dates until less than a week prior to trip.
I understand there will be Holding points involved and that it is a very busy time.
My question is more about the actual reservations:
My reservation(s) are as follows:
Friday, January 4 - Saturday, January 12, 2019:
January 4-10: BLT LV Studio
January 10-11: BLT LV Studio
January 10-12: GF Standard Studio
WL: January 11-12: BLT LV Studio
WL: January 10-12: GF One Bedroom Standard
My first request/choice, would be to stay at the same resort and not have to move (BLT).
* I know WLs drop after 7 days. Is there a specific reason this happens regarding our points?What happens then? Can I still actively stalk or does the inventory for any last minute cancelations not show up on RAT and I need to call MS to check?
* Can I keep both my BLT January 10-11 and GF January 10-12 reservations until January 9 and have one set go into holding so I can still actively look for a last minute cancelation that week?
* Will my not combining my BLT January 4-10 and January 10-11 be a problem when we check in?
* I planned on doing online check in for BLT but guessing shouldnt do it for GF. Can online check in be done a day or two in advance?
If circumstances do not change, most likely we will cancel our January 10-11 BLT and go two nights (January 10-12) to GF, instead of modifying it for one night stay January 11-12.
We booked this trip end of September and originally had SSR moving to better categories as things opened, split stays, etc. and have stalked each day (with the exception of January 4 WL coming through) and happy with my success. Which brings me to another question:
If my RAT is open on my desktop at work continually refreshing (which is how I was able to piece together my reservation)/and trying to modify my GF two night stay to January 11-12 BLT, would my WL hit against it even if it was open and continually refreshing? Does the reservation have to be “closed”? I ask since I use Chrome auto refresh at work and have it refresh every 10 seconds to look for the night of January 11 at BLT that I need.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and help me out. This is what I was thinking about at 4:30 am this morning since I have become obsessed with this one last day.
