Your24 denial in record time
Applied for a 1pm checkin time for Sheraton Waikiki in April. Was denied in 22 minutes. Must be a record

I'd rather get a quick denial than have the request linger and give a false sense of hope.

This was the first time in my life I actually tried using (and needing) Your24. Not very impressive. But this W treat me very well so I can't complain. Quite often I applied SNA, they denied / refunded the SNA and put me in a suite anyway.
They must just be expecting to be genuinely very busy that week. I see they have only twin beds in the 2 lowest categories now, all Kings sold out. So there's definitely a good reason for the Your24 not being possible.

For one of my denied Your24 (I've never been approved), when I checked in at 8 am anyways they gave me a room and asked if I wanted 4 pm checkout.

i use this benefit quite often & get approved about 75% of the time....out of my 25% denials i still have a good success rate of being able to check-in early once i get to the property....

Apparently you can resubmit the request. Properties often want to play it conservative far in advance and they have to respond within I believe 24 hours. So it's easier for them to simply reject a request and move on. Suggest everyone resubmit like a week ahead of time and even the day before.

Your24 is just short of a scam to lure people into getting P75...

Agree. Fourth point was the big draw for me. Why someone would purposely avoid that is strange. Your24 is a bonus and I would also guess 3 out of 4 clear. I certainly submitted less than 10 of them last year out of 50+ stays (100+ nights) so not a major factor.

In my experience Your24 success highly depends on how far out your reservation is. There are lots of 12PM and late checkout requests in Hawaii so an early checkin may be tough and really hard to predict if your reservation is more than two weeks out. I would resubmit it a few days beforehand to see what you can get.
