Change to Waitlist Expiration Date question

[DISnutCpl]

With an existing waitlist, if you change the expiration date from 31 days to 7 days, does that put you back to the bottom of the list, or do you maintain your place "in line?"

My guess is that it will be a new waitlist.

You definitely maintain your place in line and it does not become a new waitlist . It just changes the parameters of your window.

If you are nervous about it, you can have MS make the change over the phone and specify whether you want any current bookings cancelled if it comes through.

Thank you both for your input!

This is about the only thing on a waitlist you can change that won't affect your position. You can do this yourself on-line.

This is good to know, thanks.

It is correct that when you change your W/L from 31 days out to 7 days out it simply extends your W/L. It does NOT change your "place" in line unless you cancelled that W/L first. I've done it many, many times. Both online and via MS. When I KNOW I want what I'm wait listed for, like when I have an alternate rez that is set up to be cancelled if the W/L comes through (LOVE that feature!), I will just set it up to last until 7 days pre checkin right from when I get on the W/L. Once you are 7 days out the only thing you can do is keep checking inventory either online or by calling.
