Booked 5 nights at StR Maldives for late July-early Aug next year.
Called a ton until i got a manager who told me to do it this way:
1. Book a refundable cash rate for the garden villa room, which was available for my dates. No deposit meeded via phone (nothing pending on my card approx 9 hours later).
2. Once confirmed, apply points to the reservation OR if not possible cancel and rebook with points immediately once they can make point reservations.
3. I called back layer and was able to apply the points to the reservation .
