Help from who? I'd like some help from Wyndham. Explaining the new rules would go a long way (what is an upgrade is a great example).
Looking at Sandy VDH's list, I don't see a whole lot of improvement since May 18th. I do have some comments I would add:
Good
* Nice to use only 1 GC for 14 days
* No splits - this is growing on me, although not being able to book 1 night has caused me some grief
* We can see a real time guest confirmation count
Bad
* Unstable/unpredictable/unreliable inventory availability. Locations that should have availability do not. Cancellations not coming back (seems like more often they don't than they do)
* Continued lack of communication/misinformation (autoupgrades, upgrade path, cancellations, availability)
* Multiple user logons is not much of a feature - only one user at a time can be in a transaction
* Cannot tell how many rooms are available (I don't think VC's can, either, they used to)
* Cannot pick available rooms when you book. We used to be a able to know (VC could tell) what rooms were available and select accordingly and put a do not move on them.
* Transfers - still issues getting contracts transferred (Title and Owner Care will concur it's the new system holding things up)
* Can't gracefully exit booking process, some get hung for 15 minutes
* Can't return to list of reservations after viewing a reservations (have to go back an view all, filter, etc)
* Have to reenter location when searching
Not discussed much:
* Affect on resorts. This has wreaked havoc, I have heard. New systems and processes for resorts and a lot of issues hunting down reservations. How are they doing managing inventory and the new "all weeks start on Saturday" rule?
Ugly
* Reporting capabilities
- Viewing current reservations - sort order, can't see date reservation was booked on summary screen
- Viewing points balance and use years - we really need a summary screen
* Wait times - still really bad - easily over an hour
* Available rooms will show up to 4 times (repeating the list of availability once, twice, three, or four - just by hitting search again)
* Can't always close popup windows (eg: no apply, only clear button for filters) - click in border but NOT on image -ahhhh
* Mobile has it's issues (reselecting, etc) - just not going in details here. It is better than the old site (as far as being mobile optimized)
I presume they counted on people getting used to this and settling for the new wonderful world of Wyndham. We've forgotten/pretty much accepted the suspensions while some are still not unfrozen. Now we're becoming desensitized to a very poorly designed and implemented website. I'm tired of bitchin, too. But I'm really tired of the lack of response and accountability from WYN. They are the winners here.
