The dates I am looking for are 9/27 - 9/30 or 10/7 - 10/10. So far, there has been no option to change the dates as there is no standard rooms available. Even though we will most likely be upgraded as globalists, they still need the standard availability to switch the booking. If anyone has a reservation for these time periods and has flexibility to move their dates... or any other ideas... please let me know.
Based on reports here it is unlikely that canceling an award night will create award availability for that night, at least not anything like immediately. If anyone here understands how this hotel's award inventory is managed, I'm all ears.

Last minute availability has been worth looking for, but that won't help you for a multi-night stay. Also if I recall correctly the hotel was bought out for parties at least two weekends in October including October 8. If that party were to cancel we could have an FT gathering!
