If points are points they should upgrade the same way. At 10 months there isn’t suppose to be inventory locked to CWA or CWP. Why would a CWA Platinum upgrade be different than a CWP Platinum?

Suppose to be one pool of inventory at 10 months available to all so why wouldn’t upgrades be available to all ?

Another Wyndham mystery, I guess.

I am also a PR owner and I have the same issues that you have. At PCB I can upgrade a Studio UL but the LL goes straight to the check-in name. I have seen a similar issue at other resorts also, all PR resorts. At Emerald Grande I can sometimes upgrade a 1BR and sometimes I can't. It's been a while since I tested that because 1BR availability during the upgrade window is scarce. At the Great Smokies Lodge I can upgrade a pool view room but not a regular deluxe. If a PR room is available that is the only option I am offered.

I don't have an issue at Bonnet Creek and I suspect that is because the room structure is simpler. There are no UL/LL rooms or pool view options. I should test some other PR resorts but I suspect that they have just screwed up the upgrade options for PR owners. It's been this was for several months now.

I'm CWA VIPP - not PR. ChapJim, I know you are CWP VIPP, are you PR as well? If so, perhaps there's something different for PR owners.

I agree, if points are points, then upgrades should be upgrades, subject to the VIP differences of course. That said, we're seeing different upgrade choices/results, hence trying to figure out the delta.

Yes, PresRes at Bonnet Creek.

There you go, that’s the difference then. Something to do with your PR designation.

PR inventory and regular inventory are two different inventories. I don’t think a one bedroom presidential can be upgraded to a two bedroom presidential reserve, unless it’s part of the 25% that is made available to us commoners. :)

Are you saying the reason I can't upgrade a Studio LL when others can is because I'm a PR owner?

I’m saying you are a PR owner and according to Wolf&sprite’s previous post, who is also a PR owner, the differences we are seeing here are attributable to PR owners. Why? I have no idea - perhaps you can contract Wyndham support to try and find out why.
