Request List (Waitlist) Not Working for me

In November, I had put in a request for Coconut Plantation for May. After a couple of weeks, I received a confirmation..... Worked just fine for me.
 
We have always had luck with it in the past but haven't tried it lately. I'm wondering if the Portfolio wait list is interfering. It sounds like a lot of folks are having trouble
 
You are going to have to look everyday. The software used to work. But now it does not, we have been going to Bonita for 15 years - once or twice a year. Everything from Christmas to summer. We used to just enter the request and would eventually get the match - not anymore. We are checking in at Coconut Plantation today and I found this myself. The computer stopped searching at 60 days - it used to try to match you even one week out. We live in Florida, so we can drive over on short notice.

Install the app and check often daily, it changes all the time during the day.

I wonder if these changes are due to the points vs portfolio? We are using portfolio even though we own 2200 points - who knows - but I am making it work, but it’s not as easy as prior!

Well May is shoulder season for Florida. We live in Florida and would always use all of our points. Often in the 60 day window, but now that is harder.
