Would Inspirato offer more close-in Pass trips to such a member when browsing because they'd be able then to fully fund the trip in Pass Days prior to check-out?
I don't think a logged in member with banked days would see different availability because of the way 'banked' days work. As I understand from the way it works now, you can cancel any trip that is more than 60 days out and get those days back. So members who don't have an immediate need for their days will go in and book a trip far into the future in order to start the clock ticking on days. Then when something comes up sooner that they want, they cancel the future trip so their days are immediately available.

To really maximize Pass, you have to be quite vigilant and ensure you always have a new trip booked - even if you don't plan to take it - any time your Pass becomes available. Otherwise, those days are lost. Not that there is anything wrong with doing this - it is an improvement over how Pass worked initially, where you could not book a new trip until your current one was completed. A person willing to put in the time and research can really maximize Pass.
