How will the waitlist portal be catagorized? When you log in will it be listed in alphabetical order or is in based on location? In addition, do you just enter dates of what you need and rooms, and then it will list what is available?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it has a primary sort on availability and will default to a secondary alphabetical sorting but there is a button that will resort by distance. It also defaults to some date range (maybe Thursday to Sunday?)  There are fields to enter in specific dates and it will automatically refresh to show what has availability. If you click on a hotel that has availability it brings up a view that shows exactly what dates and room types are available.

So in terms of access to wait list and saving time, is it best to enter the criteria of what you need and then shows what's available, or clicking on the hotel you really want and then looking at dates and room info later?

Enter the dates you need and it will show you what's available.  If the hotel is not available you won't be able to click on it.

So based on how things have been done in the past, is there no chance for people not on the waitlist to get access to this last sale opportunity? In my case, I was given a Mission Valley hotel when I applied for a downtown hotel (like everyone did) which I transferred to a member here, so I’m not expecting to get any emails with links from OnPeak - is that the end of it for me, or does the waitlist link just lead to a page that is open to everyone?

You would get an email I think from on peak when general sale opens up from what I gathered with a rep.

I believe that last year, after a set amount for the waitlist, there was a general sale in which you could book rooms directly. They've always done that because not everyone is able to get a hotel through the sale and waitlist.

Did anyone have a situation where during the waitlist sale, you couldn't/didn't book all of your days at the same hotel? Say you pick a DT hotel that only has 1-2 of your days available - can you choose more days at another hotel or depending on availability, the hotel would let you add on more days?

Also, do you get to receive the waitlist email if you transferred your reservation (and thus didn't decline)?

I can't speak to the former, but if you transferred your reservation to another person, you didn't decline the room. So you shouldn't get a waitlist e-mail.

Is access to the waitlist based on your timestamp? Or do we go into a waiting room and then get access randomly?

From what I have read, it all gets sent and then go in...

Hey guys! I love this forum! I'm happy how people help each other and all! :)
