Question on first time reservation - 10 nights

[#1Disfann]

I bought resale and am at the 30 day mark of my deed being recorded but still don't have my membership info. My 11 month day is also today so I just wanted to be sure what I was doing once I get the email that my membership is loaded and active. My understanding is that I can only book 7 nights at once and then have to either add a day each day or wait a few days and then add them all at once. Is that correct and is it best to add them each day to hopefully ensure they don't get snatched up while waiting another 3 days to book them all at once? Thanks!

Yes, once you get your points loaded, you will be able to book 11month +7 days. If your days fall within 11 months, you can book however many days you have points for.

Grabbing the date per day really depends on what room and season. Basically is it a room that would be snatched up if you didn’t use this strategy

Nobody can jump ahead of you so there's really no reason to add a night every day unless you just want to. You can also wait until your entire stay is within the 11 month window and book all 10 nights at once, but obviously the risk the first few nights could be all booked up by then (possible if you're looking at studios at some resorts).

Unless you're booking at a resort that sold fixed weeks. In that case, it's possible to get blocked out even at 11 months, depending on the type of room and the season. You're more likely to get blocked during the holidays in a VGF deluxe studio than you are for a 2BR at RIV during August.

I'm sure it's possible but I very seriously doubt they sold enough fixed weeks at any resort for this to be a concern in the real world. It would take a perfect storm of a popular week for fixed weeks, tons of guests walking/adding nights, and you being one of the few left out.
