Dan (in regards to your comment to Bob on DDMS)

BH it appears they ARE going to accommodate me! I have two stays grouped together from 3/3-3/5 & 3/5-3/6..the 3/3-3/5 needed to be cancelled by 2/29 so I would be unable to cancel and rebook on 3/1 (its a C&P night which I don't believe I would have been able to rebook on 3/1). I called SPG, and the rep said initially that the new point system was not available for them to book in as of yet. I asked if I could speak to a supervisor or someone who may know more about when they would have the new system available to them to make the adjustment, and she said I should wait on hold. She came back and said they were "coding" my account to be sent to another department who will take care of the adjustment before I check in.

Crossing my fingers  ::)

Figured you'd say that ::) Still based on what happened to me, why should he have to wait till 3/1? Wouldn't he be able to cancel and rebook his stay as two different reservations (2/29-3/1 & 3/1-3/2) and then ask them to code his account to be adjusted for the 3/1 stay?

Same end result, but I suppose.

Sadly I got my hopes up too early, they denied my request and I had to cancel 3/3  :'(..just goes to show you never to think something is coming to you unless you get it in writing..

I imagine Dan is gonna put out a reminder about this tommorow (if he wasn't planning on it, he should! ;) ), but just wondering if the changes should show at 12:00 AM (hotel time) or it may take a few hours. Anyone know?

Anyone know if removing a night will trigger a reprice?

If I do 5 separate nights and then decide to use all 5 any chance of getting 5th night free without repricing?

Not enough points to make two separate reservations?
