My guess is that there are other resort properties that are similar.
In this case was the base room available for paid bookings but not for points bookings? That I would understand because it would allow them to sell the base room for paid stays before making it available for points. However, it seems that the GV availability just hasn't been released for any type of booking (other than the brief $2500 premium rates which I can't imagine were actually booked). Not really sure what game the StR is playing.
