Has Anyone Tried to Use Points from Their Resale Contract to Book at Restricted Resorts (Riviera, Fort Wilderness, etc.)?

It makes me think about those anti-theft devices on clothing. If the sensor by the door is broken, I can get a spirit jersey and walk right out. If they catch me after that, I don't expect them to say, "You weren't supposed to be able to walk out with that without the alarm going off. Here, we'll give you a Tshirt to make up for it."

Except they ended up giving me the Grand Floridian T shirt because their employee let me walk out of the store with a more expensive Riviera T shirt because the store lost electricity and i couldnt see what i was buying and then others stormed in after me and were succesful in running in and grabbing whatever they could get their hands on and the shirt i wanted sold out. Okay now I am just confused

While very true…

Shortened it up for brevity. I don’t disagree with anything you said. I just don’t have any sympathy for anyone who knowingly tries to game the system and fails. Especially those who turn around and complain about it or blame Disney.

I put on my mod hat and deleted several post…including my own….lets stay on topic.

Well shoot I'll repost the last part of mine that got nuked with the off topic purge.

System definitely isn't fixed yet, Did another check and It's still letting me choose all the same contracts as before to borrow from for restricted reservations. I wonder why it is taking them so long to fix this.

Well that is not good. I am supposed to get another call this week… might have to be proactive and send my certified letter about it to Yvonne.

At least the contracts that I do not own are gone.

There will also be people who are not aware that certain points cannot be used at RIV, who made a reservation, and who were offered an SSR contract to select points from. Fingers crossed not too many, but I can see it happening.

Agree with you though that anyone who makes a booking knowing that they are taking advantage of a glitch has to go in with the expectation it will be cancelled… or that they may get arrested?

I doubt there's anyone who is aware enough to know resale is an option, but doesn't know the restrictions that come along with it. I honestly don't even think MS should waste resources trying to help people who knowingly made reservations using restricted points. Cancel them and let the owner deal with it on their own.
