You can also get the phone number here and talk to a live person:
For the Vacation Desk phone number, and some more good information, go to Deltanet->Search: "Vacation Bidding Tips". This will return a pdf with all the info you need + the phone number to call.
The timing (which bid period) you make bank transactions can matter, in a few corner cases. I learned this one by surprise a few years ago...
My bank was at the max of 60:00. The plan was to buy the 10 vacation days and also add back 10ish hours in the same bid period. The problem is 12.N.9 says deposit transactions will be processed before any others. Since I was already at the max, I was unable to add any time. Had I purchased the 10 vacation days in the previous bid period, like I should have, there would have been enough head room to deposit that extra 10 hours.
It wasn't a huge deal, but I probably wouldn't have busted my hump WSing that extra 2 days if I had known. Normally the only reason I'll fly that much over 80 is to stuff time in the bank. Logic would say the two transactions would offset, but the PWA lays out the order they are processed so it wasn't allowed. Live and learn.
