As I pointed out on another thread, a CY I was looking to book some 50 weeks out went from "too far in advance" on Saturday night >>> right to "no standard awards available" but select the "stay anytime reward at 2x the points. In a matter of hours last early Sunday morning.
For whatever reason, the economic tide in hotelling has turned against us in the last few years, apparently its a sellers market until another recession or 9/11 type event hits. Too bad both sides can't just keep an even keel since we both need each other.
