Sticky - Club Wyndham Condensed Reservation Chart

One thing I would tweak (I'm not in that group, but Trudy is very helpful in other groups I'm in) is that at 3 months, it's not typically that the resort has a 3-day restriction, but that the season does (prime). That is, at 3 months, 2 nights may be booked in all seasons (and therefore, almost all resorts). I've found that the few resorts that have a stricter restriction on the number of nights that may be booked tend to require 7, not 3.
 
There are times when you can book former Shell resorts that are different from these dates. I have yet to figure out when inventory for Shell is available to Wyndham owners. We own Shell and can see much further ahead with Shell than we can with Wyndham. Club pass and adding WM into the mix would be good as well.

If you're speaking of all the resorts that now fall into Club Wyndham Prefer West and Prefer Hawaii (page 301 of the directory), I just checked all of them and they appear to follow the 10-month window. I assume they can be booked at 13 months for owners in those clubs/ownership types. All of them had availability for me at 10 months except four which were 100% blocked in all months (Little Sweden, Vino Bello, Whispering Woods, and Lawai Beach Resort), which seems similar to the inexplicable inventory blocks we've seen at times with various Wyndham resorts.
 
Really great condensed chart for Club Wyndham booking reservations

Just a minor correction, the RARP for VIP owners allows them to book at 11 months, but the number of RARP's should be: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively for Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Founders owners, rather than the 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 that this document lists.

I let her know.

Good catch. It appears she read from the extra housekeeping line and not the RARP line.
 
New one is up. Special thanks to Trudy for doing all the legwork.

What's the timeline on the points deposit feature? If that's a reference to the ability to bank the current use year's points to a future use year, this seems both backward and misplaced. The dates on this timeline refer to months before the check-in date of the reservation being booked. The 9/8/6/4/3 month timeline on points deposit is the months during an owner's use year, not tied to reservations. Also, 9 months (which would be 9 months before the end of an owner's use year) is the last day for non-VIPs to bank forward, and 3 months before use year end is the Gold VIP deadline.

Under the 12 Months section I would add: Last day for Founders/Platinum VIPs to use points deposit feature

For consistency's sake across the board more than anything since the document is representing Points Deposit for all other VIP/non-VIP owner categories already.

Also the 5 Months and 4 Months sections are out of order - they need to be reversed.

Lastly, should we consider adding a mention for the Waitlist function in the 10 Months section? Waitlist is available from 10-2 months as we all know - might be worth noting this feature in the chart especially considering it's relatively new and many folks still aren't aware of it. Perhaps something similar to: Can create up to two WaitList entries between 10-2 months

I've been meaning to create a Wyndham FAQs sticky thread - this would be a great start to that thread that we can build upon moving forward. I'll add a sticky thread this week.

It never ends. Lol

Unless there is an error, I am not making anymore modifications. I could be here all week doing this.

I hate to be picky but you can decide if this is enough of an error to change. The 60 day period was changed to two months a few years back. Not a big difference but it does make it easier to know when the discount period starts.

Nope. Not enough of an error.

Taking some time to say "Thanks Everyone!" for this
Editing can be a pain, the end product is awesome
Many people can benefit from this effort

Separating out the points deposit timeline works great and is much clearer. I’d just point out that “Last day for Non-VIPs to use points deposit feature” still shows up in the 3-month reservation timeline slot.

Thanks. That’s a big enough error to trigger my OCD. Lol. I’ll fix the 60 days to two months while I’m at it.

I've made this a sticky thread for now at least - once I create the actual FAQs thread I'll subsume this chart into that thread and unsticky this thread.
 
For the entry on RARP at 11 months, it’s limited to certain resorts. IIRC, they are the ones with an asterisk on the list in the directory. A VIP can’t use RARP for all the Club Wyndham Plus resorts.

There is just to much to put on one page. I could be editing it for a month. It’s only some that are not eligible. Not enough to warrant an edit or even adding it to begin with.

Also, some of the resorts in the directory don’t have an asterisk but I can still book them at 11 months. So even if I did mention that resorts that don’t have an asterisks are not eligible for RARP, that would be inaccurate too.
