About a month ago I called my guide about a small add on at VCG (we own a bunch of points there already, a combination of direct an resale).
He looked at the wait list for my UY and there were people waiting for over 1000 points! Two were each looking for over 400 with a notation saying they would take any smaller sized contracts when they got to the top of the list. As my guide said, I was in for a very long wait.
In the end, he didn't even put me on the list, sating I'd have a better chance getting points resale faster than through him.
Do you mind sharing which UY that was for? We are on the waitlist and aren't in any particular hurry - 40-something years is a long time after all! And we have enough VGC point to make do with smaller rooms.
BUT I am considering changing my request to include any UY as I've been doing this long enough I think I could manage it if I had to.
Another thing he said, which may or may not be accurate or even important, was the price now would only be held for me once on the wait list, for 6 months.
That is accurate. Policy changed about a year ago.
Although I had heard that as well, I went on the WL in March 2013 prior to the price increase. My WL came through in February 2014 and the points were still at the old price. This was for August UY. -- Suzanne
