ARP

[tschwa2]

ARP is advance priority into the inventory that you own. If you own a fixed week you have ARP to that specific inventory only. If you have a regular UDI you have advanced priority to all of the regular inventory at that resort. If they rope off inventory either for a fixed week or special units, then you only have advanced priority if that is what you are deeded or contracted to. So if you own some of that roped off inventory than you don't have ARP in the regular inventory. You can use RARP to book early other places or you can wait until 10 months. At 10 months, most don't get access to your presidential reserve inventory but you do get general access to the regular inventory.

I thought ARP was for the RESORT not the POINT TYPE? Am I wrong on this? Now for me, I don't care as ARP means nothing to me, but it might help somebody else out. You're saying we only have ARP for Presidential Reserve points? Makes no sense to me. What if only two of us travel? We would have to spende 350,000 points on a unit we don't need vs. 200,000 for the one we would prefer.

I have never owned a presidential reserve contract so I can't say for sure how it works but as I understand it you get arp for your deeded ownership

For example if you own a concerted field week wot get arp for only that unit/ week, not the whole resort

Presidential reserve deeds are deeded at specific presidential reserve units, my assumption is that you get arp for those specific units

I also assume that I can't use my points (not presidential reserve) to arp your presidential reserve units, even if at the same resort

As I said, I can't point to any specific example to demonstrate what I think is true. I'm depending on my particular brand of logic (often said to be twisted) to come to my conclusion

Ron -
You have it quite right. My PR ARP allows me to reserve rooms at Bonnet Creek, but only the PR units. One nice advantage is that I can use my PR ARP up to 14 months prior to check in, for the home resort. Alternatively, I can use the RARP feature for other PR rooms at designated PR resorts at 12 months prior to check in. And once I have used those points I will have no ARP from the PR contracts.

A disadvantage (I believe it is new with the new website) is that I cannot ARP non-PR rooms with this ownership. I have other non-PR contracts I own there that will allow ARP for the non-PR rooms (although that aspect of my ownership is not aligned correctly yet - TWO WEEKS is what VC says to get it fixed - ARGHHH).

75% of the PR units of designated PR resorts are supposedly held for PR owners to use ARP and other reservation methods until 30 days prior to check in, but I believe that is likely not accurate, as a lot of non-PR owners get PR rooms prior to 30 days.

My ARP is also fixed. Three of my contracts worked fine from the start, but one did not. Now it does. Thanks

With the new system, what time does ARP open up for the next day?

Midnight Eastern Time.

Midnight Eastern Time.

Seems to be a few minutes after midnight before inventory shows with the newly active date being highlighted on the calendar.

I am brand new to the TUG BBS, but finally felt I had to post something, in the hopes that Wyndham may monitor this website and actually give a hoot about what people think. My latest phone call to try and book my home resort, as I have done for the past 20 years, lasted just 1 hour and 33 minutes. I am one of the "minority" of owners whose account was not transferred to the new system and so I have not been able to book during the Advanced Res period. I have been told that my problem has been "escalated" to the second level and I should receive some kind of communication in the next 7 to 10 business days. That will bring one of my desired two weeks inside the 11 month period, so hopefully I could book it myself then, anyway. My main concern is being able to book the weeks I need (no flexibility, we have been reserving these with friends for the past 20 years) but while the reps I speak to are "confident" that inventory will be available, they point out (nicely) that I signed away any right to guarantee these weeks when I moved my Pahio ownership to Wyndham. Also, the lack of any real outreach over these system problems give me the impression that Wyndham don't really care about their owners, or bad customer service, or indeed bad publicity. Sorry for the moan. If anybody has concrete suggestions on other courses of action rather than just long, long, fruitless phone calls, I am totally open.

Keep trying. And somewhere here a poster noted that he had told Wyndham he would file a complaint with the state. He did file the complaint and the matter was resolved within one day.

The poster had provided the address for the state board overseeing time shares in Florida. Unfortunately it seems to take this sort of threats to get action.

I can't see how that could be accurate. If a PR member books a non-PR resort, it seems the pts used would have to balanced out by making a PR room available to everyone else.

Otherwise you could have all the PR pts tying up large amounts of non-PR inventory, and PR inventory sitting unused (and inaccessible) until 30 days out. Seems like their has to be mechanism for freeing up PR inventory when PR pts are used elsewhere.

ARP has been discussed in many threads and in some thread(s) problems with how it is applied. Ron is right on presidential reserve (other ARP related issues as well unless their are problems with how it is being applied and/or variations from their rule i.e. withhold some high value reservations for the 10 month point to give non ARP members a shot at them etc.).

Point type, to my knowledge, has always been a factor since I have been with Wyndham. The fixed week resort based system of Fairfield long since past may be what was being referred to.
