Rewards and buckets

[AKA]

I just booked a reward trip in a roomette. I checked just to see what the roomette price was . It was low bucket. This trip is about two months out. Does the fact that I booked a roomette and took one roomette out of the inventory, have any affect on the bucket price for who ever comes along next ?

Yes it does. Taking up a roomette no matter how you pay for it-- AGR, non-paid reservation by phone, or paid ressie online affects the buckets.
