Can someone walk me through the process to coordinate with someone that has a ADR that they want to cancel or if I have one that I wish to cancel?

I understand that it involves a PM, but what happens after that?

How successful are people able to switch these kinds of reservations?

Thanks.
 
I have done it once. We set a time using PM, then I released my reservation and the other party picked it up. It work for us, but it can be a risk that the other person doesn't get it.

Good luck!
 
I've only done it once, but it worked out perfectly. We PM'd back and forth to confirm time (always check what time zone the other person is in) and day. I would recommend trying to do it at a time that isn't when a lot of people check; lunch time is bad. Make sure you get the exact time, day, and number of people for the ressie, and go to that restauarant's page and put everything in. Make sure that you already have a credit card saved in your account to save time. Lastly, I would recommend not logging into your MDE account until maybe 10 or 15 minutes beforehand. It has happened that if you're logged in too long the system will log you off when you try to grab the ressie, and make you log back in. I've read of this happening to a few people on here who lost ressies this way. Good luck!
 
As others have said, verify the timezone and set an exact time to drop the reservation. I recommend using http://nist.time.gov to "synchronize your watches," so to speak. Drop the reservation at the exact time, and it should become available immediately. In my experience, it can take 15 seconds for you to get the cancellation confirmation screen, but the reservation is available just as soon as you click the button.
