Waitlist filled out me over 50% borrow.

I’ll try not to make this too winded.
I’m planning a split stay in mid January. A couple of months ago, I purchased some additional point via resale. That contract closed later than expected, 2 weeks ago. The points have not hit my account yet.
In the meantime, I wanted to extend my stay both at the beginning and end of the trip. I put in 2 waitlists fully expecting to get the points before there was any chance of them getting filled. Well, they both filed yesterday and put me 4 points in the red of my 50% borrow on my existing points. I take it I am danger of my second half of my trip getting cancelled out here at some point. I probably have to wait 2 more weeks for my new points to show up…. Should I call and beg someone to keep this from happening? Or are they letting it slide if it’s only 4 points?

Thanks for any advice,

Jeff

I think you will be fine. A waitlist has to be processed by a CM. If they booked it for you, they went ahead and allowed the overage!!

Congrats!

I think you should call for peace of mind, but the 50 percent borrowing limit isn’t that strictly enforced. I had a reservation last July that they let me borrow more then 50 percent to complete with approval of a supervisor. I didn’t even ask for it, they offered me the option in lieu of purchasing OTU points.

I noticed when looking at my points activity that my 100 pt contract only has 42 points left for 2022. I didn’t deliberately borrow more and a CM didn’t ask if I wanted to, but some how I’ve used 58 points from next year.
