TouringPlans sunsetting room requests

[Mirabell Rose]

Sounds like what used to happen when BW view was just a request. Back then it was easy to simply make them into a separate booking category. If this sort of thing happens regularly now, then limiting or eliminating requests indeed might be the solution.

Or making it a category and charging more points like they did at SSR. It’s interesting how suddenly some people no longer want their prior request if will save them a few points.

What I'd like to see is owners getting priorty over cash and rental people for the "best" rooms. After all we "own" a portion of our home resort. In fact, I'd really like to see certain "preferred" areas be "grayed out" for cash/rental people.

Additionally if I were in charge on cash side I would charge for the room selection access either via upgrade or room category (something between Club and Deluxe).

I haven’t worked my way through the entire thread yet, but this is pretty much what some of the hotels in Cabo San Lucas do. We have a booking at the Casa Caribe in November, and I can either let their system assign me a room for free, or pay extra to select my room online before arrival.

For the cash side...whatever...but I would be very against this for owners, as it would just be more nickel-and-diming us to death.
