Cancelling Award Nights in Sydney over New Year's Eve
I will be cancelling my award reservations at Potts Point Sydney Holiday Inn for 2 rooms arriving 12/31/2010 and checking out 1/2/2011 sometime in the next 24 hours or so as I was unable to arrange flights at a reasonable cost.
I don't know if they award nights will return to award inventory (or for that matter if there is currently award inventory available) but I thought I would let people know so they could check and try to grab it if it does.

All Sydney properties except for the airport and some remote ones are sold out for the days around New Years, so most certainly your room will not go into award inventory.

I disagree, I had a suite booked at CP Liverpool on an award night, the hotel was sold out as it was the Grand National horse race meeting I had to cancel it and checked a few minutes later as I was curious what would happen to it, and there it was 1 bedroom suite for cash or award night available, the price was Ł399 a night for cash or 25,000 points for award night.

so the answer is......there isn't a definite answer, like I said, I put an award night back into the system on Liverpool's busiest night of the year (Grand national day) when hotels in the city charge up to 3 times the normal going rate and it was still available as an award night.
