I'm seriously considering joining HCC, and I'm in the process of doing my financial due diligence. As I do that, I'm also trying to find out more about other aspects of club membership.
I've read through almost every HCC post here, and I haven't seen this covered. I want to know what my chances are for getting my first choice property when I log on at 12:01 a.m. EST 1 year in advance and submit my reservation for my holiday week. I will primarily be interested in securing a ski-in/ski-out property for New Years, Spring Break, and Christmas (on a rotating basis b/c of club rules, of course).
Let's say I go for gold and try for the Beaver Creek Village condo for New Year's week, and six other people submit at that same time for that same property. I assume its sorted out by the computer in the milliseconds of timing the submit button with the actual time and internet traffic lag, etc. What has that been like for members booking a popular property on a popular holiday like New Year's?
Then, say I get beat on that, and I start going down my list only to find that someone has already gotten the 4 other ski-in/ski-out properties by submitting at 12:01 a.m. sharp. Has this happened to any of you? I would just hate to think that I might get completely closed out of a holiday booking at a ski property on a year when that holiday is rotated back around and I'm eligible for that holiday that year. The three holiday weeks mentioned above are the only weeks we'll have available to ski.
Based on your HCC experiences booking holidays one year out, do you think I would get closed out of securing one of the five HCC ski-in/ski-out properties for a given holiday? I'm assuming New Year's will be toughest, followed by Christmas, and then Spring Break.
Any insight or experiences any of you can share on this will be most helpful.
Take care,
LTFM
