You are both referring to the automatic hold, which will not override advance purchase restrictions. But I have never had an occasion (and neither have many of my friends here) where I was not able to get the hold extended to the next day by calling the EXP Desk or even Web Services. I'm talking 5-10 times every year over the last 7 years. Try it.
