Waitlist during this weird time

When you place a waitlist online does it ask you to specify the reservation number you want to replace if the waitlist fills? I’ve only done a waitlist by speaking to member services.

Yes. You can choose. Just know that it’s all or nothing.

So, if you have 4 nights and want to change only 2, do not choose replace online but call because if you did and it fills, youd lose those 2 nights you wanted.

I just wanted to add that even though I did exactly as @Sandisw described, they still didn’t complete the waitlist switcharoo once mine filled. They had “a question” when I reached out to them. The question was whether I still wanted them to replace my current reservation with the wait listed night which came through. 🤦🏻‍♀️ And no, nothing had changed since I entered the WL request. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
 
I will say one should always check before canceling one. It has happened several times...including yesterday...that as soon as I canceled my WL because I booked a different room, the one I wanted showed up. Just too odd to have been a coincidence and I think it was a matched room that had just not yet been processed.
This just happened for me! I was getting impatient with a CCV waitlist and one night popped up so I decided to try my luck at grabbing that one night and waitlisting just the other night I needed. Sure enough, as soon as I cancelled the original 2-day waitlist, those two days appeared as available. So they must have been a match, just not yet processed. But I was able to quickly snag the second night since I was already in modify mode setting up the new waitlist. 😅
