Can someone help with the steps to put my bookshelf on hold but still be able to receive auto Wishlist books?

I want to be able to use up some credits before shipping out anything for a while.

Thank you!

Just make sure your wishlisted books are all on auto-request and then put your account on hold. Any books not on auto-request are skipped over during the hold. But the auto-requested books will still get wishes granted as normal.

What Rebecca said. Auto-Request bypassed Vacation Hold. Also, be sure you have the credits in your account to cover the Wish List offers. (If you don't have the credits, and your account is on Vacation Hold, you'll be skipped over, but you'll keep your place in the Wish List queue.)

I only keep a select few books on auto-request when I am on vaca hold. I pick ones I do not want to be skipped over while I am travelling or just having my shelf on hold.
