Still Having Trouble With Reservations

[thinze3]

Now I am very confused- are you saying you made reservations for multiple weeks on the website at this point? I understand that you can make multiple consecutive week reservations under the 13 month rule, but I thought those had to be made by phone. Only week 1 should be available for reserving on-line at this point.

I don't think he stated that he did it online. He must have called in.

Good news for all Tuggers - I won't be harping on this problem any more! I paid my MFs on Jan 2 (last Friday), waited 48 hours for it to post, and low and behold, I can now make reservations on the web site!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would have been helpful if the Marriott web site, as well as the VAs on the phone, could have told me the reason I couldn't reserve was because I hadn't paid my MFs. All anyone or anything said was "no availability". My MFs weren't due until 1/23/09, but they kept me from making 2010 reservations. I'm glad I found the fine print on the web site!

Thanks again to everyone who helped me solve this problem!

Terry- that's what I thought at first- but unless I am misreading his post he did it online.

I remember you saying that. I believe one of your reservations was for week 52 for 2009? I'm thinking that one went through because you paid for that year already. I can't explain the second reservation you made for the following week.

All I know is I was blacked out before I paid my MFs and now I'm not. I do believe it was the problem.

Thanks for your help!

My reservation was for January 2-10, 2010 and I have not yet paid my maintenance fees as of today. I made the reservation online and had no problem. Very strange.

I called in to make my actual reservations. I used the web site today to see if the first week of Jan 2010 (not the week I wanted, just a test week) would come up green and it did. It had not done that until after I paid my MFs. When it showed green, I called a VA to book the weeks I wanted, and they, too, had opened up to me.

Go figure!

I believe you were trying to book at the 13 moth mark originally? If so, as others mentioned you can't book at the 13 month mark online. So any weeks farther than 13 months out won't show up. You have to call to book 13 month reservations. I think you are now at the 12 month mark? Would that explain why you couldn't book the weeks you needed but can now?
