Official Wyndham Statement as of 7-15-2025: https://clubwyndham.wyndhamdestinations.com/us/en/resorts/resort-news/2025/important-resorts-update
Please note with regard to any official public statement from Wyndham, that they must follow a plethora of rules and regulations regarding official/legal notifications for the impacted HOAs/resorts, including the Club Wyndham bylaws, the HOA bylaws, and state/county/township/local laws, etc., all of which are different for each impacted resort. It is a complex process. Those who are expressing frustration as to why Wyndham has not yet disclosed anything officially, please recognize that because there are explicit disclosure laws and processes that must be followed. Wyndham will likely provide a more detailed official statement after all required notifications have been completed. The next notification may or may not provide an explicit list of impacted resorts.
IMPORTANT MODERATOR LIMITATIONS ON THIS THREAD - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING INTO THIS THREAD:
Due to a pattern of repeated forum rules violations and/or repeated moderator rules violations stated in this thread, any/all legal oriented debates are NOT to be posted into this thread. There's now a separate thread where any such posts can be debated: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/c...ngoing-wyndham-resort-closure-actions.377729/
OFFICIAL TUG EVENT TRACKING TABLE:
Below is a table we have built to track both CONFIRMED and POSSIBLE impacted resorts. Please note ANY resort marked as "NO" in the CONFIRMED column is merely POSSIBLE, but we have NO confirmation either way, just rumors at this time. Resorts listed as "PARTIAL" indicate we have backchannel information that is deemed reliable yet needs to be further confirmed via an official HOA BOD communication. The DISPOSITION column indicates how the resort is reportedly going to be handled after it is removed from the Club Wyndham system effective 12/31/2025. The values for this column are: TBD (To-Be-Determined), COMPLETE EXIT - meaning Wyndham owns the entirety of the resort and a complete exit is planned - and Wyndham is likely selling off the entire resort), WYNDHAM EXIT - meaning Wyndham does not own the entire resort, but it is exiting this resort for it's part - likely via a sale of the real estate owned. CONSOLIDATION - Wyndham is downsizing the amount of inventory at the resort - likely via eliminating one of multiple HOAs - but is not exiting the resort in entirety.
For comparison's sake, the CWA MFs are $8.13/k (not including the variable program fees). Given the Wyndham missive indicates a CWA points swap will be offered, please use this as a measuring stick against the RESORT MF column documented below for the impacted resort, or if you own a converted fixed week, use your specific converted weeks contract $/k rate for comparison. Please note the MFs listed may vary widely as a subset of these resorts only have weeks based or converted weeks MFs and the MF /1000 rate varies quite a bit based upon the season of the underlying week.
We will update this chart when we receive additional information over the coming days and weeks:

This vote passed easily. A subsequent meeting will be held on 10/30/2025 to approve chapter 11 bankruptcy, and on ceasing of resort operations after 12/31/2025.

The resort has outlined a required $13.2 million in repairs and upgrades, but real world costs are expected to be higher. There are 5 buildings consisting of a total of 152 units at Bentley Brook.

What does "Legacy Resort" mean? It means this resort was one of the original Fairfield resorts from way back when. Below are screenshots of the legacy resorts from a very old Fairfield members directory from way back when. Please note we are NOT saying all of the resorts in the below screenshots are part of this action, we're only tracking whether or not the resorts in the table above are or are not part of this category as some TUGGERs are curious about this data point.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
If you own at one of the impacted resorts in the OP, make sure Wyndham has your CURRENT contact information.
Wyndham will be sending communications to the physical addresses on file. That includes instructions on how to initiate the CWA swap process, if you wish to go that route. There will be a deadline for that for various reasons. If you miss it because the information was sent to an old address, you might be out of luck. So login now, and check the email, phone, and address on file to make sure it's correct. It wouldn't hurt to follow up with a phone call to confirm that is what the vacation planner sees on their end. Also, if you have not seen any communication from your HOA in the last year or two, reach out to them to confirm they have the correct information, especially if you moved at anytime after you bought.
When you get the communication from Wyndham, it will depend upon the actions from the HOA in scope. Some HOAs are still in the very early processes and have not even had votes scheduled yet. You will need to contact the HOA directly to find out where they are at in the process. The vacation planners are not HOA board members, so they will not know. That vote has to transpire before anything gets sent out to the owner from Wyndham. Even then, there might be a week or so before the letters are sent. Either way, the deadline will be based on when the letter is sent. Not when the vote happens.
Go NOW and check your contact information. If you wait, you will forget.
FAQ SECTION:
Q: What should owners who have reservations at any of the impacted resorts beyond 12/31/2025 do?
A: Make alternate arrangements NOW. Again, MAKE ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS NOW. Is that clear enough? Let me say it again, MAKE ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS NOW. Seriously, if you haven't already made alternate vacation arrangements, do so now. The Wyndham missive, for those who haven't clicked on it and actually read it, clearly states that Wyndham will only honor reservations at the impacted resorts up through 12/31/2025. That's a nicer way of saying that it's 99% likely that ALL reservations at these impacted resorts made on or after 1/1/2026 will be canceled by Wyndham automatically at some future point in time. Waiting for any reason is NOT recommended. The longer you wait, the less likely you'll find another desirable resort location for your planned vacation time. DO NOT WAIT. MAKE ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS NOW. If you do not have the points to make alternate arrangements without cancelling your currently booked vacation, we recommend cancelling your current vacation(s) at all impacted resorts and making alternate arrangements. The early bird gets the worm so to speak.
Q: What are the 2026 CWA MFs and program fees (PFs) as it relates to the CWA swap email?
A: The 2026 CWA MFs are $8.47/1000 points, plus the appropriate 2026 program fee (which is still TBD). Program fee with PP is $0.77/1000 minimum $213, w/o PP $0.75/1000 minimum $192. PR $0.85/1000.
Q: Do we have the verbiage from the swap letters?
A: Yes - please reference the following post in this thread for an actual example: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/w...s-unfolding-set-of-events.375888/post-3221973
Q: Where will the CWA points swap emails come from?
A: Donotreply@email.wyndhamvo.com - Make sure you whitelist this email address to ensure you receive these timely and important emails.
Q: Will the CWA points swap be 1:1 for points - pretty much regardless of what contract from an impacted resort you own?
A: Yes, provided your account is in good standing as the Wyndham missive linked above clearly indicates. The only exception is for those who hold a whole interval ownership - which is exceedingly rare - but does apply to a very small subset of impacted resort inventory. A whole interval ownership means the owner owns 52/52 intervals - basically they own the whole unit - but are still part of the impacted HOA. These owners will not be eligible for the points swap offer from Wyndham.
Q: Will the points swap apply to fixed or floating weeks contracts that have not been converted to points? If so, how will the amount of points be determined?
A: Yes. Points will be determined via the value of the week(s) contracts held via the official points charts published in the members directory.
Q: Will Wyndham communicate with the impacted owners at some point that will be eligible for the points swap offer?
A: Yes - after the appropriate HOA votes have occurred and the timing of the disposition of the resorts has been determined, Wyndham will notify the impacted owners via written correspondence as to how to pursue the point swap option.
Q: Are biennial contracts eligible for the points swap offer?
A: Yes - biennial contracts are eligible for the swap offer, like for like. There may be a slight delay in processing the contract by Wyndham, but that doesn't impact eligibility. Owners with biennial contracts interested in the swap should contact the swap team via the phone number listed in your swap letter or simply fill out the form via the link provided to start the process.
Q: Do you have any general guidance on the swap letters/points swaps?
A: Yes, as follows (many thanks to @Richelle for this verbiage):
- If you don’t accept the points swap(s), you will lose the contracts and points tied to the impacted contract(s). At the end of the year, they will be removed from Club Wyndham. If you’re VIP, you could lose VIP or be demoted to a lower VIP tier. If you accept the points swap(s), your VIP status and tier will remain intact, even if its grandfathered status. If you want to continue vacationing as you are, take the swap offer(s).
- No one, including Wyndham, will know how much any particular payout will be. When selling any asset (or anything else really), we won’t know what the final price is until we have a buyer and an agreed upon price. No one, including Wyndham, the law firm or Hilco has a crystal ball. One thing is clear, you won’t get what you paid for it originally if you bought direct from Wyndham - even many years or decades ago now. We’ve heard from others in this situation with other resorts that any payout ranges from nothing, to a few hundred dollars up to a few thousand at most. Your guess is as good as anyone's guess really.
- If you want to exit Wyndham, this is the easiest exit you’ll ever have. Your maintenance fees will stop after 12/31/2025 and you’ll get proceeds from the sale of the resort - eventually. You don’t ever get that with Certified Exit.
- Don’t wait to see what your payout will be before deciding to swap. As mentioned in number 3 above, they won’t know any approximate valuation until they have a buyer. Once they have a buyer, the swaps will no longer be accessible. You have 30 days to accept the points swap offer. Don’t drag your feet hoping you’ll get a big payout. You won’t.
- If you have questions about how any of this affects your account, please call the number in the email. The people answering the phone are specially trained to help you through this process. They are not salespeople, so they won’t try to sell you anything. They won’t try to pressure you in any way. They are just there to answer your questions and help you with the process. Please try to be patient with them as they have a lot of people calling.
- CWA is likely the only points they will swap your deed for, but it doesn’t hurt to ask if they can swap it for something else. It’s worth a shot. Just don’t expect Clearwater or Canterbury or any other low MF value resort in the system really. For example, if you own at Newport and want to swap your points with points at another remaining Newport resort, we think it would be a reasonable ask. If you own at Edisto and want to swap with one of the HOAs that are remaining, we think that’s a reasonable ask as well. Just keep in mind that CWA might have lower maintenance fees than what you want to swap with. 2026 MFs for CWA will be $8.47/1000 points, a 4.1% increase from 2025 CWA MFs, which are $8.13/1000 points. That does not account for the program fees that all Club Wyndham Plus owners are already paying.
- Please don’t wait to take action. If you have questions, ask them now. Put a calendar reminder in your phone so you don’t forget to fill out the swap request form. If you wait until the last minute, you might miss out.
- Reservations made with next year’s points could be canceled if you don’t do accept the points swap(s) to replace the points leaving the system. If you call the number on the email, they can help you figure out what the impact would be if you decide not to accept the points swap(s).
- Keep an eye on your email, including the spam/junk folder. You can also try emailing CWAInquiries@wyn.com if you don't receive a points swap offer and you believe you are entitled to receive a points swap offer. We can do our best here to answer questions, but everyone’s situation is different. It’s best to call Wyndham via the number provided and ask questions to the person who can look at your account and answer based on your specific ownership.
