Locked Contracts?

[DisneyStarWisher]

When trying to modify a reservation that is only two months away, I got the message that my contracts are locked and have to be used in a certain order. Why is this?

I went to fake modify, just to ensure my points were sucked up correctly yesterday and they both had locks on them. Hmmmm.
It was for my upcoming use year. A direct and resales contract. With some banked points. It’s weird. I tried to duck out cause the locks made me nervous and the dwarves. I think it may have changed the points too.

Normally they will lock if you make a reservation between the 11 month window before the 7 month window. Only reservations I make at the 7 month window or less are unlocked.

I have found a couple of reasons. If you book in home resort they remain locked so it can’t be modified with non home resorts points.

If you modify a reservation made during home resort priority to something else, the contracts will remain locked most of the time.

The newest one I discovered yesterday is when you have restricted points as part of your membership. I booked RIV for January using my SSR points as I wait for my new resale RIV to show up to swap the points.

But my BLT restricted point contract I sold is still there. The SSR is locked but the message just says those points have to be used, so it’s related to it being RIV

In cases where I wanted to swap points around for a trip made 7 months or less, I have called or emailed in order to get them to do it for me if I couldn’t get the rooms making a new trip myself and then canceling.

The trip I am trying to book is 3 months away, and it is not using restricted points. I have no idea what is going on. I guess I'll have to call and see. Thank you all!

If you are booking new and not modifying something made originally during a home resort period, then it’s definitely weird.

As I said, I have had trips that were made at home resort, changed at 7 months and contracts stay locked, even when I modify it again from the non home resort stay.

Good luck!!
