Cancel & Rebook problems?

Bonnet Creek HOA or Wyndham should be going out of pocket to cover one tower being closed. The same amount of points are chasing fewer units. Why should an owner at another resort have more competition for the reservation they want?

I agree that Wyndham should be contributing funds to cover the cost of refurbishing Tower 5 as well as all the other towers, not because non-owners have less access to Bonnet Creek but because Wyndham uses the resort to promote sales. As for the HOA paying more, we as BC owners are paying more to the tune of a 6.6% increase in maintenance fees for next year to cover the cost of refurbishing units every 5 years instead of every 6 years. This is all because of the excessive wear and tear caused by the high annual occupancy rate (93% according to Wyndham) and irresponsible folks who just don’t care if they damage things at the resort (most likely non-owners who don’t have a vested interest in Bonnet Creek).

I called Bonnet Creek a couple of days ago and was told it was Tower 5 that was out of service (for renovations) but it would be reopened before Thanksgiving.

And, it was 2BR Deluxe units that I lost so this is starting to make a lot more sense.

Now, do I dare rebook my 2BR Deluxe reservation starting December 28th (that is already rented)? I may just let it ride since my points expire on 12/31 and it's slim pickings out there for decent reservations. Not much sense in trying to recover points I can't use.

I wouldn't even consider it, to be honest. Much too high a probability of losing it. And to your point, for what return?

Occasionally, something good falls out of the sky at the 15 day point! The blind squirrel phenomenon!

Yes. Like perhaps the reservation I just lost.
