WorldMark sent me a Waitlist confirmation, but why?

I have a confirmed reservation into West Yellowstone for next September. I've had it for a few months, and my trip is all set up. This afternoon I got an email letting me know my Waitlist had come in for... exactly the same thing I already have confirmed. How's that? Same dates, unit size, and all. Nothing new. Very strange.

I called WM and asked them to confirm what I have already is the same exact thing as the Waitlist confirmation they just sent. They did, and it was. I have no idea why they sent this email today. The VG was confused as well, but deleted the Waitlist request. Somebody else will likely be happy to get a week they want.

Does this kind of thing happen often?

Did you set up more than one waitlist? I've had multiple waitlist matches for the same date and kept them all for a trip my parents and other family joined us on. Being able to have more than one request for the same dates is a feature not a bug, imo.

In your case, maybe a rep added a second waitlist by mistake, or re-upped it after you first matched?

Just double check you still have your original booking.

That may be the case, but there will only be three of us in a 2 bedroom, so this additional request wasn't needed. It's weird. But at least they're thinking of me. ;)
