OK I finally figured out how people who are non-vip are booking Margaritaville Hotels.

1) Go to the map and pull up the calendar for any standard hotel (Wyndham Nashville, Grand Desert, etc).
2) After the calendar pops up select the orange "New Search" button.
3) When the search page pops up, select from the resort list either:

a) Margaritaville Island Hotel Pigeon Forge
b) Wyndham Rio Mar, A Margaritaville Vacation Club Resort
c) Wyndham St. Thomas, A Margaritaville Vacation Club Resort


The booking calendar will then pop up.

*Note- The question is will they honor them for non-vip's as said in the previous post.

Posts like this are usually why those loopholes get closed. ;)

I wasn't trying to get you to delete it, just making a little joke.

No need. I can truly verify Wyndham reads TUG as the resorts have been removed from that list! :ignore::ignore:

They are still there in the all resorts drop. You just have to go the a non-Club Wyndham plus resort. I went to Vino Bello in California and then followed the instructions and it worked just as described.

If you really want to vacation at one of these places you could make a VIP owner your friend.. and rent from him

These sort of tips should be put in the sightings boards.:ignore:
This is just low hanging fruit for Wyndham spies to close the loopholes.
