Just recently completed a 7 night stay oct 21-28. I'm a gold and booked on points before category 8 went into effect. I emailed asking for a possible upgrade to a BV about 2 weeks out then followed up with live chat once that became available in the app. Both times they told me they would do their best. Checked about 24 hours before checkin and it showed I was now in a BV. Loved the room. Our butler also was able to get us into a sunset overwater villa for our last night no charge. Incredible room as well. Enjoyed checking both rooms out, would have liked to do a few more in the sunset villa. Was nice to see golds treated so well as their seems to be a lot of platinum members that choose the resort.

Yes, they are regular "perks". I believe the first three aren't outlined in the welcome letter because they only happen once a week and may not happen during your stay depending on duration length. You can also ask for a back of the house tour and a tour of the largest overwater suite (maybe worth doing if it is rainy).

I booked for May 2020 few months ago with points + nonrefundable cash upgrade to OWV. When I go into my reservation it says
“Additional Information
During the month of May, all point reservations will enjoy
complimentary breakfast and dinner. Dinner will be set menu in
selected restaurants. Book now and stay half board at best
address in Maldives.”
Am I good to go or should I call and confirm?

I want to book on points for 5 nights in January.
Does it make sense to book an overwater villa or will we most likely be upgraded to one anyway?
Do you get a better upgrade if you book an overwater villa?
I’m Titanium.

If you book an OWV you have a chance to be upgraded to a sunset OWV

You are there in the absolute peak season. You should book a room that you are happy with,i.e. if you want to be sure to get an overwater any version. Book it.
