7 month Question

[Sammie]

How is it actually determined?


Do you take your check in date, say it was September 12 and go back to Feb. 12 as the first day to call or is it more complicated where you count actual days, since the days in the months are not equal.

You count the months not the days. You can call on Feb 12 to book a stay with a check in date of Sep 12.

The only thing that gets tricky is months that have less than 31 days. To make a reservation for February 28, you have to wait until August 1.

This came up the other day and according to some written rules somewhere, you are supposed to be able to call on the last day of the month when there is no corresponding day. For example, if you want to book 11 months out for a stay checking in on Jan 31st, you are supposed to be able to call on Feb 28th. However the booking system (at least the version prior to the latest update) did not allow the stay to be booked unless the member waited until Mar 1st to call MS. However in the other thread, someone mentioned reading a post where this has been fixed and it now works as stated in the rules.

So in this 7-month example, if the check-in date was Sep 29 or 30, the member is supposed to be able to book on Feb 28 rather than Mar 1.
