I believe that that if you have an association with Wyndham of any type whatsoever you should have enough courage to say so. Full disclosure is virtue and I would certainly say that I have a conflict if one existed.
Shawnee isn't really rural but probably very seasonal. I think ski season ownership has probably dropped off since the "resort" split from the ski area... the inoperative fireplaces in many units (and the fake fireplaces in some) may reflect this.
I vote for the points are missing forever (not months or years).
That's a good point. When realignment happens, someone is paying 15, 18, or 21 months of maintenance fees for the same amount of points. That doesn't simply go away or not happen just because the expiration date changes. That money is lost. Even if it is said that the money goes to the HOA, for Wyndham managed properties they are earning a management fee. You can also look at the Club Fee. That is also billed monthly and a portion of that goes to Wyndham as revenue.
Interesting information. This makes Star Island even more of an outlier.
The big question is, how many of the intervals not owned by Wyndham actually voted. Given the relatively short notice, and overall lack of owner engagement at most timeshares, I suspect it was low. Of course, had the other unengaged owners voted, they likely would have voted for bankruptcy too.
This member ended up on my ignore list a while back when they stridently accused me and other participants in that thread of being employed or having some relationship with Wyndham beyond simply ownership. Always glad to some reinforcement that that continues to be the right choice.
Understood.
We purchased a Fairfield Sandcastle Villa in New Bern, NC in the 1980’s or 1990’s and sold it approximately two years later to a military service person.
Will do. Sorry, I did not realize that meant all legal discussions. I thought it only applied to legal discussions about the process itself.
Yes, while it's entertaining, and in a weird way serves it's own purposes, any legal debate of any kind - use the other thread - no limits over there - but this thread is already unwieldy, and we're trying to minimize the banter in this thread that goes down various rabbit holes unless it's directly related to the ongoing actions for the impacted resorts. Let's try to keep this thread solely about factual information, observations, and data about the ongoing actions, along with being a forum for questions for impacted owners.
Although only one continued to made up stories and resorted to truly personal attacks. Of course he wasn't even an actual Tug member.Same here. Sorry for causing you more work.
It just seems important to point out misstatements, or worse, as soon as they appear so they don’t gain traction without being rebutted. I realize this is social media and anyone can post anything they want while remaining anonymous and never having to be accountable for it. We’ve had at least two individuals on this thread continuously make numerous false claims, admit they were false, but continue to make them and encourage lawsuits based on them.
Thank you for everything you do, @HitchHiker71. Hopefully, this is the last time you’ll have to step in. At least, on this thread.
Do all of this to your heart's content in the other thread - that is why we created it and moved the vast majority of debate type posts into that new thread.Same here. Sorry for causing you more work.

Question, can we request that the types of legal misstatements that should not be here, be moved to the other thread when they are first posted so we can begin the discussion there instead of it expanding here and then a bunch of posts need to be moved or people need to be sanctioned?Do all of this to your heart's content in the other thread - that is why we created it and moved the vast majority of debate type posts into that new thread.
During my conversations on the Wyndham call on Friday, one of the Wyndham reps on the call is attending most of these meetings, name not to be shared of course. She also indicated that most of the meetings are similar in format and most have gone as expected, and she even explicitly mentioned that some of the owners who initially voted no, changed their votes to yes after asking questions and better understanding the reasons for the proposals in detail. So far so good basically. The vote tallies clearly show how well this process is going to date really.
If you feel that a particular post or subthread of posts needs to be moved - feel free to DM me with such requests and I will evaluate the requests on their merits. I may not get to it right away dependent upon where I am at any one moment in time - but I will get to it.
Interesting. I would have thought that the refunds would occur before the bankruptcy filings since they were directly authorized by a membership vote. Expenses for 2026 are being covered out of reserves, again by a membership vote, so that is not an ongoing issue.
