I saw that Offer Code a couple of days ago. Maybe if Wyndham ever has any specials again, they'll put like a PromoCode on them?

Yeah that was my thought as well - but as owners - I've never had access to promo codes or offer codes - at least not that I can recall - wondering if this is going to be a new sales tactic - go to a sales update - get offer codes to get discounts or free upgrades on bookings?
 
I own WM and they still break something every time they do an update. Is that the case on the Wyndham side?

Something like that. Probably won't work.

Not sure what the offer codes item is about - anyone know?

Today's email from Wyndham explains at least one use for it. The email included an offer code ("EPIC20") that is targeted at email recipients only for use for a booking on or before June 30, 2024. They're supposed to deposit the points in either the 2024 or 2025 use year. It says the offer isn't transferable, but might be worth a try.

Congratulations — you have an exclusive Offer Code that could score you 30,000 points. You’re just three steps from this powerful VIP by Wyndham perk.
  • Book a trip to one of 20 epic Club Wyndham resorts using your Offer Code.
  • Kick back on a trip to your choice of a dream destination.
  • Come home to 30,000 points to use within your next Use Year.

Interesting. I've not yet received this particular missive, though I'm sure it's only targeted to a subset of owners.
 
Can they make free guest certificates be applied online, so we don’t have to call in to use them? It’s been forever waiting for that fix.

You are very lucky. I just had to call one in last week. They always tryto charge me $99. I rarely use them, but the last time I tried was a year ago and I had to call it in then, too.

it’s been an ongoing issue in my account too for the last couple years, but not every time. I used a GC a month ago and it wanted to charge me $99 even though I hadn’t used any this year. I had to call in and have a VC do it.

Does every update enhance the user experience?
 
I guess we will have to wait for someone to report on how this works. One box says "current Use Year". Next box says "next Use Year".

Couple of recent bug fixes/updates to the website release page:

1713280447723.png
 
A pet peeve of mine! The website has several EXCLUSIVE POINTS DISCOUNTS, most of them in the Southeast. All of them expired on April 11, 2024.

How tough to take down expired, outdated notices?

It's actually very easy to code these types of items to self-expire on or after a particular date so that nothing has to be manually updated. Put it up and then input an expiration date after which it will no longer appear on the page.

In other words, too hard for Wyndham IT.

Either though it's not hard to code and automate it may not be desired. I for example would rather have old promos stay till new are available. It gives me the ability to see what kinda promotions were available in past, gives an idea what can I expect. Above all if I took and or made reservation based on these promos I can always come back and verify after the fact. It is a preference and has pros and cons. Maybe better would be to have a checkbook to indicate show only past,current and or future.
 
The instant upgrades are working! (After the maintenance last night :)) I don't see anything posted in the what's happening page, but glad to see the upgrades are working correctly again.

Glad to hear they fixed this bug promptly. It was a big one for VIPs without a doubt. Wyndham leaves a bit to be desired when it comes to documenting their bug fixes/updates on that page - but at the same time - something is better than nothing! :cool:
