Yet Another Waitlist Question

[DizBub]

I am waitlisted for 4 nights at another resort starting May 14. It's the 31 day waitlist because it's for less points.
Can someone tell me what day the waitlist actually expires?

TIA.

My understanding is that the waitlist expires at the end of the 31st day (midnight). If it doesn't match by then, it's gone. (If it would happen to match on the 30th day, the points released would go into holding. Then if the matched reservation uses less than the cancelled reservation, you would be left with the extra points in holding).

A real person has to finish up the process when a waitlist matches. So it could take a couple of days past the 31 days for the member to find out the waitlist worked.

So, does that mean that since my reservation is starting May 14 the waitlist expires on the 14th or the 15th of April? I suppose the members site will let me know it's expired. I'm just wondering when I can stop obsessing over it.

I'm guessing the April 14th since May 14th would be the 31st full day.
