Unless I am misunderstanding your question, the website normally puts award rooms in the computer at 50 weeks out. I know that the European award rooms are loaded in the system on Sunday mornings for the entire week at 50 weeks out.

Depending upon where you have been checking, the 9 months out at very popular places may actually be too late for getting the saver awards. I have found that true of the Hawaiian hotels.

On a side note, I was playing with the system the other day and was amazed that the Paris Champs Elysee was available for every day on an award in March. I always plan a year in advance so I've never checked the "tougher" sites closer to checkin.

Hope that clears it up.
