Another holding question

[RuntheMouse]

Finding myself in an unfamiliar situation, looking for some confirmation on my thinking.

We have a quick 2 night trip in early December that was booked after the 7 month mark. We also have a long trip in January that was partially booked after the 7 month mark. If we have to cancel the December trip last minute (flight woes) can I just go in and reallocate those holding points to the reservation I have in January? Is it that easy?

TIA!

I believe that is correct

Yes.. the system will pick them up since you are within 60 days under a few conditions.

If that October trip was made during home resort priority, the holding points need to be from that resort.

If it was made 7 months or less, then any points will do!

Also, it assumes the points are all in the same membership.


Just go in, modify, don’t change a thing and book it again and it will take the holding points.

^That answer was from a similar question back in 2022

Thread 'Switching Holding Points to Existing Reservation'

Aug 26, 2022

Weird situation - I tested positive for Covid this week, so had to cancel our trip to Hilton Head that was to have begun Sunday. Net effect was 165 points now in holding, April use year.

We also have a reservation for Aulani Oct 8-15, using both current and borrowed points.

Is there any way to convert my Aulani reservation to make use of the holding points? That would allow me to then bank the current points I had used for Aulani. Or, It would allow me to rebook Hilton Head over the next few months without having to wait for the holding 60-day window.

I’m not 100% sure but you might need to cancel December reservation, then modify the Jan reservation to take those holding points?
