Funny thing!

I had a hole in my upcoming trip, one night studio at BWV. I waitlisted it and was checking 4/5 times a day. Nothing.
Everything was getting booked up so I thought I'd better have a back up plan and booked SSR. Then I cancelled the waitlisted BWV.
So when I went to waitlist BWV from my SSR booking what should pop up but availability at BWV.
How funny is that. Do you think modifying a booking gives you priority or was it a coincidence?

Coincidence but important point- the waitlist I understand runs twice a day, thus the room may pop up in the availability tool and you never capture it on the waitlist because someone else gets it before the waitlist is run. In other words there may well have been someone else with that room waitlisted and you got it.
