I canceled several upcoming mini-trips due to being sick and not knowing what my future was going to be. My energy has picked up enough that I decided I could rebook my Yosemite trip. Never being there before, I decided that I wanted to go during the "best" time for waterfalls which is May/early June. Basically, looking for the impossible weekend on short notice.
I've been looking at booking one day at a time. For a while, I had us booked for one night of WM, 2 nights at Bestwestern and last night at WM. Between the wait list and me checking online often, I got another night a WM and thought I was pretty much going to have to do the one night in the middle at Bestwestern, but updated my waitlist request a couple days ago for just the one Friday night.
Today, I got my email saying that my waitlist for the one night came through. I called in because every night has been booked as a separate reservation. Some were booked as cash specials and one night was credits and a token. I told the WM rep that I had a waitlist email and that I needed to combine all my reservations into one. She took care of it right away and I had the choice to do it all on cash (Monday Madness special) or use credits and a token. Since I have credits, I switched everything to use those. So, I'll get some money back in the cash nights, yay. Whole process took about 5 minutes and the rep was smart and friendly. 2 very nice traits.
I love the flexibility of WM and the ease of use. This type of thing isn't even possible in HGVC or Shell. WM is such an amazing system. I can't believe we get such great service for such low annual fees.
P.S. Shout out to Sue who between here and wmowners.com taught me all about how to get what I want using the waitlist and combining stuff. I wouldn't have thought it was possible to get this reservation without her helpful posts.
