I had stayed at a hotel owned by Wyndham, so I decided to sign up for their rewards program in November 2017. When I did, I was offered a "special deal" of four days & three nights for $179 at one of their resorts if I would sit through a two-hour sales pitch. I scheduled a trip to Wisconsin Dells, WI, in March 2018. Because of work, I had to change the reservation to April 17, 2018. On April 13, 2018, I received word that a dear friend of mine had died in North Carolina. The funeral would be the day I was supposed to return from Wisconsin. I immediately called Wyndham to reschedule. The customer service representative had a horrible headset. Everything sounded garbled and all I could hear was her breathing. I told her about it several times, but it never could get straightened out. I THOUGHT we rescheduled for May 1, 2018, at a hotel in Wisconsin Dells. Initially, I was told I would have to pay a $50 penalty fee because I was changing the reservation within the five-day window. When I told her I was rescheduling because of a death, she said she waived it (or at least I thought she did).
Today is Sunday, April 29, 2018. Right before leaving on the 400+ mile drive, I searched for the reservation confirmation to print it out. When I couldn't find it, I called Reception at Wyndham Vacation Resorts in Wisconsin Dells. I was told that, according to the notes, the reservation for April 17th had been cancelled. No reservation had been made for May 1st.
