me and my wife bought the 105k points per year for 17k yesterday and today we came up to a conclusion that we need to rescind what we bought and it’s in the bonnet resort in Orlando I know that I’m all good if I send the cancellation letter within 10 days of when I signed now my question is I got is I got a tablet and a free 1 week rci that came with the contract do I need to return those as well and if I don’t can they hold that against me and not cancel my contract?

They will take back the 1 free week in RCI. For me, I would send back the tablet either in the same rescind mail or on a separate cover. They would still cancel without the tablet and they may subtract the refund by the cost of the tablet from the refund but no one has reported that to happen.

No they cannot hold the tablet and free RCI week against you.
I’ve been told ounce your contract is downloaded to the tablet Wyndham cannot use it again. If they ask for it later. Send it back then.
You would’ve found out the free RCI week wasn’t worth much if anything. They’re very hard to use. If you don’t have an RCI account I don’t think you can use it anyway.
Just make sure that everyone signs the rescission letter that signed on the contract.
Send certified mail so you can track it. Ounce delivered print it off so you have proof Wyndham received it.
Welcome to TUG and you just saved a lot of $.

Bonnet Creek is a wonderful resort. You can buy resale for probably 80-90% less than what you paid if you still want to be an owner.

Personally, I think 308K is a nice starter contract. It will get you a 2BR unit at Bonnet Creek any time of year and leave enough for a weekend or a week offseason in a 1BR Deluxe unit. 105K will get you 1BR Deluxe offseason at BC with about 20K left over.

Are you sure you have TEN DAYS to rescind? Seem longer than others we've heard.

Do you find them on eBay or through a broker?

They can be found through both. Also here on TUG in the timeshares for sale section and the Bargain Deals under the Buying, Selling, Renting forum. Maybe OP can recommend brokers they've dealt with.

So I think instead of the lady at the post office giving me certified mail she gave me priority mail with delivery confirmation is this safe or should I resend another letter ??

It sounds like they sold you Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation instead of Certified Mail with a Return Receipt Requested. Should accomplish the same thing unless your contract specifies that the rescind letter must be sent by certified mail.

Once your mail is delivered, you should go to the USPS tracking site and print out the delivery confirmation screen.

If on the other hand the contract does specify Certified Mail, I would print another copy of the letter and send it the way they want. Return Receipt would be an extra cost option added to the certified service, and well worth it. It looks like you still have time for that. Remember the date you mail it is the important thing, not the date received. And just to reiterate because I'm a nudge, each person who signed the contract has to sign the rescission letter.

Hello so I double checked the contract and it doesn' say anything about the mail having to be certified so since the lady at the post office did it the other way should I worry and draft another letter or should I just relax for now and see how it plays out I do have the recept of when I sent the lettrr

Honestly, the cost of certified vs. the stress of worrying about this isn't worth it. I'd go back and send it certified. Just for piece of mind, even though you will probably be fine.

To rescind on the cheap, I have done this -
1-Hand write a simple letter to the Las Vegas address noted in the contract, signed by whoever the owners are
2-If you are still at a Wyndham location, go to the check in office and ask if you can send a fax. No need to explain why to them. Then fax the hand written letter.
3-After they return the letter with the fax received confirmation, make a copy, then mail it to the Las Vegas address as backup.
I have done that twice.
Took me a while to get smart enough to learn to say NO and buy only resale.
