Hi! I have a 7 day reservation at a Wyndham resort. Midweek I want to keep my 7 day resort reservation, but ride over to a Wyndham resort a few hours away. I plan to leave most of my stuff at the main room and not check out, and plan to return.

I am owner and will be occupying both rooms. Will this be a problem, or will I need guest certificate to make sure they don't cancel something on me?

The example is I will check in on Sunday for 7 days. I want to check into the other resort on Wednesday and check out on Thursday, return back to first resort (7 days - did not check out) other resort until Sunday.

I am hoping I can do this without having to pay for guest certificate for myself.
I already used the one guest certificate they gave me.

I believe it will be a problem. This seems to be one area Wyndham has tightened down on. I have gotten quite a few calls lately on overlapping reservations. Are there low cost options you could pursue for the 1 night at the other resort?
 
I thought the problem was only if the reservations were at the SAME resort. If you have them at two different resorts, I don't think that should be an issues. But I do not know for sure.

Calling reservations might be a good idea.

Are you traveling with someone else whos name is also on the deeds. You could have one in your name and one is your spouses, which since you are both members will NOT generate a GC fee.

Not to be flippant but why did you do this?

I got the automated outbound call for overlapping reservations at different resorts. I am not willing to test it by holding them both into the cancellation period. IF someone else has recently carried overlapping ressies into the window and they haven't gotten cancelled, that would be good to know. Reply to me by PM if you don't want to post that publicly.
 
The reason I want to do this is I see Orlando really cheap points for the one night, and I am at the beach for the 7 days. I am going to ride over as I have days left on Disney pass and hang out at Disney for the day. I can stay very late this way, and just rest up at Bonnet Creek. Head back to beach in the morning. The points are low.

I can put the reservation in my name, as the base one is in my husbands. Has that caused any problems before? We are traveling together.

If the one night got messed up it would not bother me, but the base 7 days I can't risk. Too many points and no where to stay.

Carol, while I have not done it yet, as I understand it as long as both you and your husband are on the deed, and you make sure to NOT use the same person when booking the reservations, you will be ok. Same as if you were traveling with a other couple and using your points to get them a room, you book the first one under your husband, second under you, or vise versa. I put multiple people on the deed specifically to do this.

Second option if you will sleep better before the vacation, unless you are travelling on a major holiday, rent the short Orlando from a major points owner, that should be relatively inexpensive. However, doing the first option above should be fine.

If they are overlapping they will be cancelled. Even if they are different resorts. Sounds like you can put one into each of your names which will not be an issue.

This is a very reasonable situation. If you are an owner why should you need to rent from someone just to avoid it overlapping? Seems Wyndham has overstepped their ground but there has been no pushback by the owners.
 
We did overlapping reservations a few summers ago in Arizona. We were spending the week in Sedona but had a one night reservation in Flagstaff so that we would be closer to the Grand Canyon. One reservation was in my name and one in my husband's. I was told that if the reservations were in different names it was ok.

You will be fine as long as you have different owner names. There is no presumption that everyone on the account is traveling together. We have 2 concurrent reservations next week in my name and my wife's - because we're actually using two units. No problem there.

As I and others suggested that will solve the problem. If you are both on the deed, just put 1 ressie in your name and 1 ressie in your husband's.
 
There is another work around as well if needed.
