[2018] One night in ......

[skotrla]

14 days out. HK will kill you if you aren't VIP.

HK will kill you if your average stay is below the number of credits for a stay in your unit size - if you typically make larger reservations, then it is possible to have credits left, for the occasional short reservation.

Yep. We did one night at Bonnet Creek prior to our SSR exchange in May, and we had plenty of HK available to do it because our other stays this year were 5-7 days long. But only a VIP could make it a regular practice.

Maybe, maybe not.

I have 2 units for one night and 1 unit for 2 nights at another resort. My HK would be 371. That is a lot of HK to burn.

But if OP was looking at $500 a night for a hotel, even high HK fees would be far less than that. I guess it is all in the perspective.

Awesome. How many points did it cost?

32K points and 63K HKP.

I rarely make short reservations, so I had plenty of HKP.

Agreed, but I would have just driven home instead.

Yep - all it takes is a second reservation for 94K to keep you at the average of 63K for that unit size.

3 short reservations will certainly bring your average down, but the size of the impact will be determined by the the number and size of your other reservations. Certainly if you own 200K points and make 200K points in reservations that require 371K of HK credits, you'll be spending a lot on HK. If you own 1M points, spending 371K in HK credits on 200K in reservations is more likely to be absorbed.

Are you ever allowed to book single nights?

I booked a single night for Bonnet Creek tomorrow and in the last I’ve booked single nights at Canterbury and Tahoe. It depends on the individual resort.

Well, a one and half hour drive at home at 11pm, after a long day is not my preference.

Unfortunately, the resort maybe sold out by the 14 day mark. You could try booking three nights (or two if you can) and not staying the whole time. I know it sounds like a waste of points but you’ll be able to book it before it fills up.

That is where WR comes in handy. We use ours for special events when hotels are over the top.

System won't let me book a 1 night stay for early Jan. (1/7 or 1/8) in Hawaii.
Anyone know why? I get a message saying 2 night minimum.

1-night stays have not been allowed for a while; couple of years, I think.

This post is 3 years old. How did OP enjoy the concert? How was your one night stay? Never heard what happened?

Thanks. Too bad.
