On 2 waitlists question

[tinkfan]

I waited waayyy too long to finalize my dates for Oct. and of course there in nothing available at BWV where we wanted to stay. So I made 2 waitlists for the same dates. One in a 1bdrm std. view (which is what I really want) , the other for a studio pool/garden view. My question is, if one of these magically matches (not holding breath) does the other one cancel automatically because its for the same dates? I didn't think it would, but then I started doubting myself.

According to a CM when I did a similar waitlist ... yes, the unmatched waitlist will be automatically canceled when either waitlist is matched. I didn't that answer, and still hope it isn't true ... but that is what I was told.

When I waitlisted for VGC in Oct I waitlisted for a studio and a 1 bedroom. When the 1 Bedroom came thru the WL for the studio automatically cancelled. Since the 1 Bed is what I wanted I did nothing else. But had the studio came thru, I would have gone back on and WL for the 1 bedroom. So you can always do that if your other request comes thru, you can WL for what you really want.

Put them in a different name for the WL and tell them to keep both going.

But the "new" waitlist is now at the end of the line.

I had actually thought about this. Will try to do that!

Hmm ... what happens if they're for overlapping dates but not the exact same dates? If one matches will the other still cancel? I have enough current UY points for both to come through.

I have my 2 waitlists set up for a weekend in a studio in December, one for 2 nights, one for one night within it thinking that one night at a time is more likely to come through than both at the same time. Should I cancel the single night wait list since I really want two nights?

If you have 2 different WLs for different dates and one fills, the other still is active, correct?

I have a current BCV reservation for an Oct week (not cancelling unless the entire WL'd week comes through). I want a 1BR std at BVW so I WL'd the first 3 nights on one WL, then the next 2 nights on a 2nd WL. If one fills, the other will not cancel since they are for different dates? I hope this is the case. I don't want to go to the bottom of the list for the 2nd WL.
