Online Booking Change This Fast

[melissac]

I have been watching OKW studio for booking at the 7 month mark for Nov 29- Dec 6. Doing mock booking Dec 2nd has been unavailable. Well I went today at the 7 month mark and it was available along with all my other nights. I tried to book using my iPad and I couldn't scroll on the terms and conditions to accept so I got out and called member services and Dec 2 not available. Waited about 10 min went online not available also, waited 30 min and checked and unavailable then went back out and checked again and was so I booked(on home computer). Now not available.

Long story short does it change that quick?

With online booking you never know if there 100 rooms available or if there is just 1.
It is quite possible that you were seeing now mail 7 month shuffling as owners were booking another resort and canceling their home.

Yes, it does change that quickly. Could have been members cancelling and rebooking something else.

Or it might have even been your own hold on the room that got released after a certain time.

Just as an aside, but the iOS version of Safari often has these sorts of problems with a variety of web sites. I never use it for anything "time sensitive" like this.

We have a split stay booked around that same time and wanted to switch at the 7 mo mark for the last half of our trip to a 2 bdrm. Could never find the whole 4 days. I checked numerous times a day and it kept changing, but never all four days. Checked right before the kids got home from school and bingo it was there. Had to call MS and they were able to switch it. It was an hour and a half since the last time I had checked - so it can just pop up!

Thanks. I did not realize this was an IPad problem. Thought it was an operator problem

It's possible that there is some obscure piece of the HTML standard that the web site is not following, so technically it could be "an operator problem," but the iOS browser is pickier than many.

I was able to book on my iPad and iPhone. It does SEEM at first like you can't scroll through the terms and conditions, but if you press and hold in that area, and then scroll with another finger or a stylus, you can scroll right to the bottom and accept the terms and conditions.

I do the same as you when booking with my Ipad. Never had a problem.
