Email at 10:24am. Got Westin Gaslamp, which I believe was first choice. I wasn’t coherent enough during sale to take a screenshot of choices.

Was in form around 09:00:20.

Are emails going out Alphabetically by hotel name?

I was reading some posts on twitter and it seems like people with later entry times but who requested earlier check-in dates(like sun or mon) are getting their first choice. Was there discussion on this last year? I wish I would have requested an earlier check in date!

Too many variables in play I think to determine for sure. I requested a full week with check-in on Sunday and haven't gotten anything yet (9:01:30 timestamp)

Hubby got email for Bayfront our first choice. He got in right after me. I finally got an email for Manchester our 5th choice. We couldn’t have been flagged as duplicates because we used completely different info. Weird. Buy hey at least we got what we wanted. Btw I got in at 12:01 est

Your form access time isn't the complete picture, its just some partial information. There is a refresh timer for your session, so every X amount of time your browser checks the server for more/new information. If it checked at 9:00:15 and has a 30 second refresh time then it doesn't matter if your time was 9:00:16 or 9:00:44 you would appear to get in at the same time. However the server should note the time you were given access. There is also the way onpeak processes the requests. Everything within X amount of time is considered the same time for them. Then they split out that group to people for processing. So your request within that group is randomized. So maybe he was in the same time frame group, but was given higher in the queue for Worker 2 while you were towards the end of Worker 1. So when Worker 2 processed his request Bayfront was still available but when Worker 1 got to you it wasn't.

There is a ton of behind the scenes information we don't get. So unless 2 requests are full minutes apart we wouldn't know what happened.
