Question; can this be done?

[bdrex28]

So, I have a 1 BR Villa G/P view booked
I also have a Deluxe Studio G/P view booked

these are booked the exact same days.

Interestingly a 2 BR Lock-off is lower points than the 1 BR and the Deluxe Studio.

So...can I call member services and ask them to combine into a 2 BR lock-off and re-issue the point difference?

Has anyone ever tried this?

I am guessing that perhaps even though I have what make a 2 BR lockoff, that they may not be able to guarantee that the ones I have booked could be a 2-BR lockoff.

Thoughts?

No, that can't be done.

The only way this might be done cancelling the two rooms and rebook, and the chances of being able to do it before a rooms is held for a waitlist is are low. Member services will do the exact same process you can do online, so they can't hold the rooms.

That's kind of what I figured. Interesting the points are different since in both cases you're taking up the same two rooms..you'd actually expect the 2BR point chart to be higher.

You are paying a premium for flexibility.
You have the chance to cancel part of the room if part of your party will not be traveling with you anymore and get those points back and keep a room for your self. If the people are not traveling with you and you have the lockoff booked you would have to eat the extra points used or hope you can modify to something else.

When you book seperately, you are paying the lock off premium to book those as two individual rooms vs a 2 bedroom.

As others have mentioned, the only thing you can try is to drop one of the rooms, and quickly attempt to pick it back up and hope a waitlist doesn't grab it.

You can also call MS to see if they can tell if there is a waitlist for either or the rooms to give you an idea if it is worth the risk?
