President reserve facts?

[northovr]

At my 4.5 hour update one thing they said was president reserve maintenance fees are guarantieed not to go up more than 1 percent a year. Plus PR inventory is held until 15 days out so PR people are guaranteed inventory and only 1 percent of Wyndham owners are PR and if your PR can access Margaritaville rooms. I wasn’t offered to purchase PR though shoot they couldn’t even get me numbers on what they were trying to sell they showed me how much money I could save by purchasing more points but they wouldn’t show me an offer had to leave was so confused at the end.
Maybe next time they will explain it better

No, but why? Why go? If it’s solely for the gift, why listen to or try to understand a single thing that they say? Set the timer for an hour, stare blankly over their shoulder, and leave in 60 minutes.

Guaranteed by whom, and where in writing? MF are set by each resort HOA, so it seems impossible to guarantee that. In fact, if you look at the Maintenance fee sticky you can see the PR fees for the various resorts and see that has not been true.

I wondered the same thing when I read the initial post that said he had to leave after 4.5 hours...

Yeah, how do you spend 4.5 hours when they aren't even making offers to sell something.

At least he was taking one for the team and keeping the sales predators away from complete newbies?

I remember a TUG member who really should have known better who posted about spending 8+ hours in an update. At least they were trying to sell her something, but as I recall they were essentially lying to her about PIC Express vs. Plus.

Wow, none of that is correct about PR to the best of my knowledge and we're PR!

Sleazy people in sales. 4.5 hours is an entire day wasted, in my opinion. Only time left is for a dinner, and hopefully they paid for a good one.

A few resorts systems or resorts have mandated caps on MF's but in order to accomplish that, they have to be willing to cut services if they need to cut the budget to fit within the mandate. So you could be looking at check in not guaranteed until 6pm or check out at 9am or pools closing 2-3 days per week. This isn't what they do for Wyndham Presidential Reserve.

This is the wording in terms of access and guaranteed access:
Guaranteed Access

• Guaranteed access to available Presidential Reserve suites at Club Wyndham Presidential Reserve resorts when you book during your Advance Reservation Priority (ARP) window, 14 to 12 months in advance of your check-in date at your “home” resort.

Exclusive Access

• Exclusive access to available Presidential Reserve suites from 12 to 10 months in advance of your check-in date at all Presidential Reserve resorts.

Privileged Reserve Period

• Up to 75% of unreserved Presidential Reserve suites will be held for Club Wyndham Presidential Reserve members to access, 10 to one month(s) prior to your check-in date.

Even those "guarantees“ have wiggle room - "Guaranteed access to available Presidential Reserve suites", "Exclusive access to available Presidential Reserve", "Up to 75% of unreserved Presidential Reserve suites will be held."

 

[tschwa2]

exactly- up to 75% means they can hold as little or as much inventory as they want to.

There is no cap on PR, and it goes up well over 1% per yearvat every resort I have looked at.
