Online availabilty and Reservations

[dianeschlicht]

I know the Wyndham system opens at 7am eastern and shuts down at 11pm eastern. When I was trying to book Alexandria the other week, I tried to get on to get into the reservation section and it wouldn't let me at 6:58 EDT.

Now there online booking is just for their 10 month window(which would be like DVC 7 month). If you want to use your home resort priority(13-10 months) you have to call in for those reservations. Call center opens at 8am weekdays, 9am weekends.

It's one of things I really like about Wyndham, I've been very happy at what I've been able to book at the 10 month or later.

I believe Marriott's old online system also didn't open until 9am eastern, as I know people would be online refreshing and on the phone trying to book their weeks.

That sounds like a nice equitable system.

It works, but Wyndham has more rules than DVC. This stops a lot of stuff that I could see happening with a DVC online system. But in reality I think a lot of that stuff occurs now with the calling in MS.

Want to get a pool going on the date?

Yes, but would the pool be the date the system is put online... or the date the system actually works?

Exactly! Scares me to death at what a disaster this could be.

yep - for the first few years of an online system, you'll definitely want to save screen shots of your confirmations...

We could do both.
