The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

[seattlewhite]

Anyone know anything about the gifts offered if you do do the timeshare sales pitch? Lot of places offer you 3 nights free for a future stay or something of that sort. Trying to plan if the pitch woould be worth my time.

Usually the pitch is for discounts at area attractions. I got roped into the free night thing once. It is a resort certificate and none of the resorts were Wyndham. They were all junk places I would not stay in.

Good to know. Thanks for help!

This might be a bit of an odd question.....I just reached back out to VS for a price. They gave me one and I am really considering going ahead and grabbing it now. Would it be wrong if later on I asked them to look into the price again and find out its lower than what I am paying now....that I can cancel my current reservation to get the new price?

I was just there, May 21 to 27, and I did go over to the desk. The lady was offering a 7-night stay at some point in the future, but that was all of the details I got since I wasn't interested--she wasn't clear about what property. She did say that they do the timeshare sales thing at 8am and 11am. I hope that helps a little!

Most likely it is a certificate for a 1-week stay and can only be booked within 60-days. Most resorts within the 60-day window have "upgrade" fees from $300-$3,000 for the week. We got one of those a year ago. We could even sell it for $25. One of the resorts what Alhambra in Poinciana FL. I could get a 1BR for horrible weeks for about $300 most of the time. If I booked directly through someone else, I could get it for $300 - $400 also. We looked at many other places and it was the same garbage.

If they are offering a "resort certificate", say no. Get it in writing first that you can get Wyndham Bonnet Creek for a 1-week stay.

I wondered this too...

Is there anything special we need to do upon checkout? Since we didn't get the parking pass we don't have a welcome packet. We'll be checking out Saturday and other places we stayed we had to do things like strip the beds, throw all the towels in pile...anything required here upon checkout or do we just go. Thanks

Nothing you need to do. Last time there, I wound up getting a call that I had to be at work. We left a day early. Didn't even think to tell them. We called them after about 4 hours being on the road. They took it from there.

They have refund policy. Ask them to quote you a price. If its lower, book the new one and get a refund on the old one.

I just emailed VS to ask them this question. I did see they have a $99 rebook fee if you change your reservation. I'm not certain if the same fee holds true if you cancel and book a new reservation.

oh crud....as i just payed the deposit to try and get something on the books for our trip. After loosing out on a great deal already.

 

[BigredNole]

VS has a cancellation policy up to 15-days in advance. However, price matching them against themselves is probably a no-go. They do say they will price match any commercial renters but not private owners.

 

[Biggen]

Just book the new reservation and cancel the old one an hour/day later. Don't tell them your intention. They have a 100% refund policy outside of 20 days. No 'Rebook' or 'Modification' Fee required.

This is what I was offered in Feb. It is an RTI certificate. My FIL owns at blue green and has gone though RTI a few times, he told me it wasn't worth anything. My research online said the same.

I think there were some area tickets too that you could do instead, but I can't remember to where.

I just tried to get them to price match Magical Vacations, and they said they only price matched major websites not other renters.

But the availability is going nuts. I got an e-mail saying there was no availability, then a few days later (yesterday) I get a quote, call today to see if they would price match and was told there was no availability.

Wyndham inventory is crazy right now. I would hold off a little while as the system is worked out. I had 100% planned on staying at WBC in Dec. Then, I come across an incredible 7-day offer at OKW. I have worked with the individual and will probably rent it. I know I give up a kitchen and extra bedroom. However, we get to stay onsite this time for less than Value resorts. Last time I went in Dec, I got a 2BR at WBC for $500. We have always wanted to stay at OKW to try it. I am sure the issues will be resolved by then, but I cannot pass up on this deal.

The lady tells me, in a very nasty tone.

I know exactly who you are referencing. She should not be working in a sales or service position. Ever.

I received this response from Vacation Strategy re: price matching a price I found on VBRO. Does anyone know what they consider to be a "legitimate competitor"?
Dear Misty,
Thank you for your email.
The VRBO listing number you provided looks to be from an individual owner, which we would not price match their quotes. In order to honor a price match we need a quote from a legitimate competitor for the exact same dates, room type, and resort that we can independently verify. If you have received such a quote please forward that to Support@VacationStrategy.com and we would be happy to consider it for you. If you should need further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Sharon Barclay

VS means that they only price match businesses, not individual owners. There are not too many businesses that rent timeshares. Vacation Upgrades is one that I know. Other than that, the rest are private owners.
