I noticed pending charges of the same sort when I booked. However, the charges didn't post on my account as purchases; the correct amount eventually posted. Not sure why they authorized a pending charge for a greater amount, but it never hit my statement, so no harm no foul.

I also had the $10 extra charge on all my reservations, but I assumed they held the extra for incidentals and have no problems with that, because the previous charges have always been right.
The problem was a second charge for more money and when I checked on wyndham.com, after my stay, my the rate had been changed by the system glitch, as long as it is OK in the end with me getting points and being charged the right price, then I am happy

Just to be clear, if I book at salt lake and no show tonight, will my card still get charged or does it have to be a prepaid rate? I don't think the one listed for tonight or tomorrow is prepaid. If I don't get charged am I out of luck?

But the safe way to play this currently is to book stays with check-in scheduled on or before October 6th where you check-out by October 7/8/9 as desired.

Why would the hotel default to not wanting to charge you if you didn't cancel the reservation prior to the cancellation deadline and never cared to contact them? It would seem to be surrendering money that the customer agreed to give the hotel and has no issue with giving.

When i was doing this promo for myself i made a reservation for schaumburg. i went to check in and they couldnt find my reservation. It turnsout I made a mistake and put the wrong date for a reservation at Schaumburg. I was not charged and I was listed as a no show for the day I made the mistake for. I booked the same day at a computer there and checked in and was charged for that night
The hotel was helping you out because you contacted them and made them aware of your mistake. I wouldn't expect the same outcome if a no-show took place and I never contacted the hotel in person or otherwise about the reservation.
