I would like to know if this is the norm. Last year when i went to las vegas and booked my 4-5 day stay at ballys casino, i had paid for those 4-5 days and booked it. I did recall once i made that reservation under my total rewards account... had i tried to book another date online... it would not allow me to. Say if i wanted to book the following days later, it wouldnt allow it and have that message that it seems you have a reservation booked for this period.





For example, say i booked from september 12-15th on my account. Then if i went and tried to book another day from the 18th... it would say i already have a reservation booked and i cannot make any reservations this time. And they would show this message of every single casino.




The same can be said when i book say a 1 or 2 day stay at a casino in Atlantic City. Once i do this, i cannot book another date that seems to be near the time i booked it. Is there a reason for this? And does anyone know what is the minimum amount of days i can book the following reservation? Like if i do a reservation from september 12 - 15th, say i wanted to do another reservation on the 17th -19th, total rewards wouldnt allow me under my account. The reason why i book it under my card is b/c the rates are cheaper of course. But is there like a minimum amount of day total rewards prevents you from booking another reservation whether its comped or you paying for it?




The reason why i ask this is b/c I might be jumping from hotel to hotel since I will be in vegas for 3 full weeks. I will be staying at the downtown casinos for a couple of days, then head to say harrahs because i have 1 comped night available. I have checked my calendar on total rewards and it seems like i get 1 comped room in certain weeks if i book it just for 1 day. What i want to know is... would i still be able to get another comped room like 5 days from that booking? For example, if i do a 1 night stay at a certain night... it would show as comp. But if i do that day plus the following day, it would show a price of $200. I think you guys understand what i mean here.




So basically i want to take advantage of every comped room i have and my card only allows 1 day max as a comp. But i also want to make sure i have those days available. Is there a way to do this? For example, say from may 2-5th, i check and i see if i do a 1 day stay, i have a comped room available at say imperial palace. If i book this on the 2nd... then when is the next day i can book another comped room assuming i have comp room available say the following week. Would it be the 9th?




I think what im asking sounds confusing but anyone that has done reservations using their total rewards probably know what im asking. Can someone answer my questions.




Thanks.

I'm with you Eventrumplestiltskinister.....I mean not WITH you but with you..


GW....it's because we've already figured out the ways to milk us for comps and we no longer let it happen....SOMETIMES you might get away with it but not as often.....
