Success booking spring break OF 2 BDR Maui

[ada903]

Thanks to my fast fingers and my fast new iMac, I was able to book spring break March 30 OF two bedroom for Maui (old towers). I called at the same time too, but the phone lines said to call later due to high call volume. Yeah!

Yes us too, this morning we got our 2bdrm (lockoff) for Spring Break as well. We're IV Napili however But, I had to take a Sun-Sun. That's what I get for logging in at 6:01! Didn't check to see whether a full unit was available Sat-Sat, the lockoff offers us more flexibilty at this point.

Got a 2br w/ lockoff Maui -- but need to TRADE

Long story, but we ended up with a 3/29 check-in and need a 3/30 or 3/31 check-in - 2bedroom Napili island view with lock-off.
How do I best look for someone interested in a trade? I have no interest in any exchange of money - just a trade with someone who managed to get the same thing with a 3/30 or 3/31 checkin date.
This board seems to be one (and the safest ) possibility. Any other ideas?

(PS only exception to not wanting to pay - if I'm trading with someone who has an ocean view in Napili, that's only fair)

All the Ko Olina 3BR OV and Maui Lahaina Villas MV were gone by 6:14 AM PDT.

The system was a lot slower last week but units seemed to be available a little longer maybe because people weren't able to get in.

Lol you guys are talking about checking in tomorrow (as opposed to next year)?

Great job on the nice catches!

Btw what times in PST are you guys finding these popping up?

You almost gave me a panic attack! But then I realized I've already booked 2012, so the system wouldn't let me double-up (phew!).

I logged in at 6:01am PDT (figured I'd overslept and would be SOL), the system spun its 'loading' circle a few times, and just about when I was ready to attempt log-in on a 2nd computer the availability popped up. My confirmation email came through at 6:06am PDT. Interestingly, the website never did load the confirmation (the circle kept spinning) but I figured the email confirmation meant I was good to go!

I wonder if someone's internet provider/speed plays into access issues at all??

I booked my 2 bedroom OV Maui Suites (Original building) for a Saturday March 30, 2013 check in this morning. I found it online and I had the email confirmation at 9:01am EST, though the circle thing kept spinning for another minute or two before it displayed my confirmation #.

I was also dialing in at the same time and couldn't get in do to high call volume.

Exactly my experience, with the spinning circle and all -the email confirmation arrived but the circle was still spinning.. Eventually it did display the confirmation screen.
