Concerned About My Reservation

[ssawka]

A few days ago I saw the thread regarding the webcast, so I went ahead and registered for it. I then called my Guide today and asked him if I should wait until the webcast to submit my contract, he said I might as well. He also said that what they are planning to offer might be a few dollars per point lower than my current offer. Since I am buying 250 points, that could be $500 - $1000 less.

My concern with doing this however is that I currently have a reservation for an MK view at BLT for the end of January. If I take the new offer, what is the likelihood that MS will drop my reservation if a new contract has to be written? I've heard of this happening to others, even though I assumed your reservation would be tied to your member id. Any thoughts?

No worries! Your reservation will not be dropped. I did an add on at BLT the day before they started taking reservations. I got a BLT studio for December and was really excited!

I ended up changing my contract 3 times and there was no issue with the reservation. MS got it transferred over with no problems.

I will tell you that it did disappear for a few days from the member website when they switched the contract (which freaked me out) but when I called, they said it just takes a few days to catch up.

And that is exactly what would happen! That would be great if you ended up saving some money--anything is a good thing!

I am hopoing that something will be offered for add ons, but I am hearing that it is targeting new members!

Good luck!

I'm planning on buying points at BLT later this week and asked my guide the liklihood of me being able to book a trip for the end of Feb and I was told not to worry because they haven't released all of the units yet into the booking system and that he could help me with the reservation. I don't know how accurate that is, it is just what I was told. I would suggest run it by your guide. I am sure you should be able to work it out.

Sandisw, thank you for putting my mind at ease. You are a great asset to have on these boards.

stefanospops, very good point! I totally forgot about the inventory that will be released. This also helps as we are currently waitlisted for the day we arrive.

Your welcome!! If you do decide to change, be sure to mention the reservations to your guide. Just one more thing to ensure things go smoothly!
