I booked my hotel using this. They wanted $600/night but only 10K points--since I have hundreds of thousands, seemed to be a good use of points. No problem if more hotels become available at last minute which I suspect, at least I will have a room within a reasonable distance of the Olympic track and field venue.
Is there some trick to this or did I just miss the window of opportunity?

I see nothing via PC for any hotel for any day from Aug. 13 to Aug. 16, for any room type.

Booking these via points and having the option to refund sounds absolutely fantastic...

BTW, looking forward to any planned DO - a coworker and I are currently scheduled to be in-country for four weeks, trying to back that down to a more reasonable two or three.
