Reservation modification surprise

[jolynne28]

A couple of weeks ago I booked a last minute quick stay for my son's birthday for this upcoming weekend. At first all I could get was a 1 BR at OKW, then I was able to switch it to a 1BR at SSR, and finally last night I snagged BRV, which is our fav for the holidays, so here's hoping they get that dang tree up! Since we're within the 30 days, I assumed that modifying and using less points would mean that the point difference would go into holding, but they surprisingly did not, they were just returned to my balance. Is that how it works if you don't change the dates of your stay, or was this some sort of happy accident?

Same thing happened to us last week (dropped a night from a reservation inside 30 days, pts did not go into holding). I don't know if it is / was happening because of the air travel issue that were ongoing or if somebody goofed......

The points should have gone into holding...yes maybe DVC adjusted things in the short term because of the flight disruptions. I wouldn't count on this happening again!
