If we take the room we're given and deposit, you have until the 15th to request a refund- right?

Correct, from the official doc: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Deposits are fully refundable if your reservation is cancelled on or before May 15, 2017

Reservations cancelled between the dates of May 16, 2017 through June 6, 2017 will incur a one (1) nights' room rate plus tax cancellation fee deducted from the deposit provided.

Reservations cancelled on or after June 7, 2017 will result in a fully non-refundable deposit.

Got my email today in the second round, at 10:22am PDT.

I was into the form on H-day at about 00:35 (never saw the little walking man at all) and submitted at about 7 minutes after the hour...

...and THANKFULLY got my first choice of HARD ROCK Studio with 2 Queen beds, Wednesday through Monday.

My data:    (which I will enter into the form)
My top 6 were all adjacent / Gaslamp downtown hotels, with NO non-downtown hotels selected.
I selected "Disregard my request if choices aren't available", and asked to be waitlisted.
I entered my Member ID. I got the confirmation page.

It seems that what I reported on Friday - that the two rounds of emails were arbitrary, and that you could still get your first choice of a downtown hotel in the second round - was indeed correct. At least according to my experience.

Really wish they would have sent me my email last week, and saved me a week of anxiety - but all things considered, I'm feeling very lucky and thankful and happy.

Unofficial blog reporting that onPeak told someone else that more e-mails would be sent out soon. :P I asked my contact, but they haven't answered.

"OnPeak said..." may be among the least reliable phrases in the English language.

So I'm too tired to ping everyone who asked about if OP is still sending out e-mails. After Wave 1 went out, OP confirmed on twitter that they were done. That hasn't popped up on OP's twitter yet.

I feel like you could call OnPeak 3 different times and get 3 different answers.

It's like when I was a kid and I didn't like mom's answer- I would go ask dad (or vice versa).

Am I still eligible to get waitlisted if I got a downtown hotel via lottery? I was assigned one outside of my top-6 today, and am wondering if I can be a part of the waitlist if I decide to let this one go.

I am also wondering about this.

Last year i got omni and hilton gaslamp,

This time, still no email.

All i needed was friday and saturday

I used 3 emails and listed for the hotels below
Hardrock
Omni
Hilton gaslamp
San diego marriott gaslamp
Residence inn gas lamp
Hotel solamar
Hilton bay front

I guess by this time its probably impossible to get any of those unless i pay somebody 100bucks to transfer their reservation approval to me or trade my sdcc friday or saturday badge

I really wonder if the dates of the reservation also somehow super-factored in? Like my reservation is shorter than last year's (by a day... Thursday-Monday instead of Wednesday-Monday like I've been doing for a few years now), and add to that my late time in accessing the form (like 9:04-9:05ish) = no e-mail thusfar for me. =(

Just as a reminder, FOCC doesn't allow any profiteering/bribing for reservation transfers. I suggest putting a request on the FOCC Request/Trade sheet (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) and keeping an eye on the Offers post that will go up tomorrow.

there may still be some downtown hotels that will be offered up through this forum. and luckily, there's a rule against charging people a ~finder's fee. maybe post in the requests document or take a look at the rooms offered up when that spreadsheet goes live tomorrow?
