Im thinking of making another booking.. Do you think you will be able to move the dates/bookings around even if they go up?

No.

I'd say a few days. The hotel knows already, they aren't very happy about my multiple bookings...

The real question is should the hotel or SPG be the one that cares?

They're going to have a tough time wriggling out of this.  It's a standard cat 7 booking. Who's to know whether it was "supposed to" be an all-suite double points nonsense rate that SPG has?

Question is, are the base overwater villas the ones just off the shore?

Highly unlikely. Those looks to be the 2 bedroom suites.

No.

I have a screenshot of the chat convo where the Rep says that I can change the dates of the reservation. Would that help me?

Of course you can change it.
But if prices go up a change will casue a reprice. Just like after a category change.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Ok I hung up and tried a new agent and this time they found 6 nights for 162,500 points total. Pulled the trigger on that. Won't cancel my Park Hyatt Maldives just in case.
