Going to cancel one award room from June 7-12 at WAJ. Anyone want it in case it goes back into inventory?

Dan, I'm interested. How can I get in touch.

booked a king accessible room at the standard room award rate online and wanted to replace one of the nights with a weekend reward certificate, when I called they said that since it is a superior room I cant use the night as its only for standard room - even though I was able to book the room at the standard rate for points. does that make any sense? Just curious if anyone else had experience with this before I waste my time HUCAing.
TIA

It's a standard room so should be able to use a weekend night
 problem is they may not be able to just switch it they may make you cancel and rebook and if it isn't in system already it may not get recycled into the system or if have a reservation with multiple days not sure they  can just replace one day they may make you rebook the whole thing

IINM they can apply a cert to a points reservation without canceling and rebooking.

Thanks for posting. I agree with him and if I was paying cash, I’d pick the King David too for the gorgeous view and pool area.

Was lucky there was availability, told her to first book with certificate and then cancel the points booking.
But good to know the hotel can do it.
