We have a last minute (forgot to bank our points) trip coming up...4 nights, 2 moves. First night was in an SSR studio, nights 2 & 3 in a 1-BR at SSR, then last night BWV studio. I wanted to keep the last night at BWV the same, but waitlisted for BWV or BCV STUDIO the first night, and BWV or BCV 1-Br the next two nights...an exchange of size for size.
The waitlist for the BWV studio the first night came through.
I just called to add other resorts to the request for the two middle nights, and found out that what my waitlist currently said was that we wanted a 1-BR at BCV or BWV all 4 nights! We don't! Just for the two nights in the middle. To get a 1 BR all 4 nights would require borrowing more points, which we absolutley do not want to do. We considered waitlisting for a BWV studio those two nights in the middle for the sake of staying in one place, but decided we'd rather have the inconvenience of moving to stay in a 1-BR than to stay in a studio all 4 nights (plus, we've already used the points). But we definitely didn't want a 1 BR all 4 nights...just don't want to use anymore points. The point of the trip is to use up the points we forgot to bank, while borrowing as few points as possible.
Turns out an OKW 1-BR became available, so we get back 10 points into a holding acct, and we won't be able to use them (unless another waitlist comes through), which kind of kills me since we had to borrow some points to do this trip, but...oh well...we'd rather be at OKW.
I must've confirmed 10 times with my last call how the waitlist stands now. I thought I had been VERY clear the first time around tho too.
