Reservations, waitlist and point question

[Rpsemont]

I'm sure I could read through all my material and find the answer to this question, but asking here is so much more fun!
I've noticed in a number fo threads that people will book one thing and waitlist something else. But sometimes part of the waitlisted stay is available. For instance, let say they want a 1BR at WLV for M-F. It's only available M,T,TH,F. So they book it and waitlist Wednesday. Meanwhile, they book a 1BR at OKW because it's available for the full 5 days. Do you have to have enough points available to hold both of those reservations? In other words, do you have to have enough points for a 5 night stay at OKW AND a 4 night stay at WLV in your account? Or does MS recognize that you wold not be using both at the same time and allow you to make both of those even though you may only have enough points for 1 of the reservation?

you have got to have the points to make the reservations - so in this case they would wait list for VWL and give you ONE night reservation at OKW.

unless you have the points in your account to do both.

You can't make a reservation unless there will be points in your account to cover the stay. In the example you use, you would have to have enough points for both the OKW stay and the nights at VWL.

Many will make a reservation at their home resort at 11 months and then try to change to another resort within 7 months. If you don't have enough points available to hold both at the same time, you would need to instruct MS to cancel the OKW reservation dates as the days become available at VWL.

Enjoy!
