There were owner surveys from the website that covered this category - you just didn't see them because you weren't in the luck of the draw for the randomized surveys for this item.
It's a very simple fix, but......... we all know what happens after updates. It's better to leave well enough alone than to chance not being able to log in. My pet peeve is ghost inventory. I wonder how many canceled reservations to rebook and find out the hard way.
Oh the ghosts are just AWFUL. I try and comment regularly (give feedback on the website) FWIW. I don't trust the discounts at all. As you pointed out, they show up long after they've expired. I've also often found discounts that weren't advertised (and thus I typically search using resale first - as that will show me if there is a discount) - then I can choose whether to book with the resale/resort discount versus my VIP discount. Now, if you wanted to check and see what discounts were available to decide where you might go, I punt on that.
I’ve had that show up for a while now. I think they are just telling you that the reservation is during priority time, so you don’t have to look it up or guess.
Fairly new - the Timeshare Owner Priority indication is on all reservations booked during owner priority (regardless of if you use one or not).
Correct - it's letting you know that this reservation is occurring within a blackout period - so if you plan to send someone other than an owner - it's going to use a GA (vs a GC).
I'll just add I tried all these and they seem to be working. I didn't go as far as clicking "book now" in RCI, but normally it would say something like "You don't have enough points in RCI to complete this booking" and now it's giving me the "book now" button.
For the most part, they don't actually capture and list bug fixes.
I lied before, or found an exception, or something has changed since I last checked - but now when I look in RCI, every potential exchange has a greyed-out button that says "Cannot be booked" and there's a message telling me I don't have enough points to book it, with a phone number to call for questions. I do have enough points to book, or at least, I can deposit points to RCI from next year (because I'm less than 10 months from the start of my use year) where I have tons of points. So I don't know if I found a random resort that behaves differently when I checked earlier in the week, or if something has changed since then. But now I can't find a resort or date that behaves the way I saw earlier in the week, with the appearance of allowing me to book instantly.
And now it's back. Maybe whatever connection Wyndham uses to hand off the eligible points amount to RCI wasn't working when I checked on Saturday. But "Book now" is back for me, at least for now.
Yes, the issue wasn't booking with points already in RCI, but having the ability to use the RCI Instant Search and Book feature which was just rolled out to all owners (was previously only VIP Gold and above).
Yep - I'm using it quite often myself. Nice feature.
My aunt always called me Windy-Cindy when we were kids, she is only 2.5 years older than me. She still calls me that sometimes.
Ooh, they're fixing the accordion menu issue. Maybe you once again won't have to be logged in to expand the resort information fields?
