That is what i was afraid of. I am stuck between paying for a deluxe harbor view which i've been told upgrades to a full view junior (hopefully XX16) or using points and then i suppose getting a non-view room. The cost of the rooms during the time i am going is not quite as much as I expected it to be, it is $400 a night for a deluxe harbor, its right on the borderline and i was hoping the paid followed by points would work, but it seems it probably will not.

Anyone actually done paid followed by points at this property recently?
