Great result!

That's a great price in the current climate and over £12 per point.

With your remaining 8-points it might be worth booking a value AKL studio in late Sept (27-29 currently available) and placing that for rent. If there's no take-up then cancel before 31-days out and look for one night in December when it's 8-points again and good luck.

Great tip! Thanks. The points expire 30 Nov so I have nothing to lose.

Thank you so much! I did this and it sold within 30 mins. I would have just let them lapse. As it was AKL studio I let them go for $12pp but better than nothing.

The site won’t let me change guest name, is there a way round this or do I just call member services?

You can call guest services or you can cancel the booking and immediately rebook it. There is a chance someone will be able to snag it in that time window but unlikely. I did this for several bookings, I booked placeholders while my buyers were umming and ahhing over the details, then I cancelled the placeholder and rebooked immediately with the confirmed details they had sent me.

I changed my guest details via the online chat? Quick and easy and I didn't have to spell everything out! 👍

Great news and that you rented it so quickly and yes better than nothing but gosh, someone had a great price on that $400+ Jambo studio.

Yes, you can't change or remove the lead name online but you can delete or change the other guest names and addresses.

Think I will have to get serious with that page soon to get the last of mine rented. I've had lots of interest but no firm commitment on the last of my banked points.

So good to see people managing to rent their banked points and remove the risk of losing them
