Wyndham is closing a handful of legacy resorts - dedicated chart/tracker located in the first post for this unfolding set of events

Her access to the RCI account would be terminated, and she would lose deposited points, but not confirmed exchanges. I believe she can transfer the points to your RCI account for a fee.

There may not even be a fee (it’s been at least 5 years since I last did it). But that would be the best move.

So are we saying that if we choose to stop our relationship with Wyndham by refusing the CWA offer and selling our interests in our HOAs that our RCI account is also gone? I would guess this depends upon the type of RCI account you have. I have the RCI account I got when I started with Wyndham and I believe it is unique to the Wyndham-RCI relationship. But I have used my 2025 Wyndham points to do a 2026 exchange. I also have RCI points from my two other timeshares that I purchased after I joined Wyndham.

Anyone have any good information on what happens to our RCI accounts after we turn down CWA?

Thanks in advance!

I've reached out to my Wyndham contacts to validate this as well.

Today I called the Wyndham number listed earlier in this conversation to see the status of my CWA swap offer. Interestingly - the Wyndham rep, Jessica, stated that my e-mail swap offer came on Nov 4th and Nov 6th for my two respective bankrupt HOA's (Bay and Patriots Place). I stated that I wanted to opt out of CWA and cash out of my HOA and she made note of my decision. She further stated that had I not replied to the CWA offer, Wyndham would have assumed that I wanted to opt out/cash out. Further she stated that my RCI account would remain intact with the other resorts that I have outside of Wyndham.

I can't find the e-mails that they say they sent to me in any spam or trash folder.

So as of Jan 1st - I won't be a Wyndham owner. It's been a nice ride but time for me to leave.

Yes, if you have a RCI account separate from your Wyndham linked RCI account - then that will remain in place of course. It's the Wyndham/RCI account that will be deprecated if your parent Wyndham account goes inactive at some point on or after 12/31/2025 - details TBD.

Since I am declining the swap to CWA, at some point 350,000 resale points will be deducted from my account. But, when? There doesn't seem to be any reason to tie it to the actual sale of the property or any other related event that I can think of.

I have enough resale points in 2026 to handle the deduction.

The answer likely will be on or around 1/1/2026 - when the resort itself is removed from Club Wyndham - all contracts from the impacted resorts will be removed from the impacted accounts at least for the purposes of the points in accounts. Whether the contracts will still be listed in the financial section is a question I still have - since the impacted accounts/owners still own those contracts until the resort sale process plays out.

I'm late to the party here. I am a Bentley Brook owner and missed out on the proxy meeting from yesterday. Assuming the results were as expected (confirmed sale via bankruptcy). What does that mean for me? I basically have 222k points every other year (so 111k points yearly - obviously a modest amount, I was like 24 when I made this decision to buy it lol). Assuming I'll be offered to switch over to CWA, where I have some points already, or be given proceeds. Does anyone have any idea what the proceeds will be like? Is the transfer over to CWA going to be 1 to 1? Likely going to cash out, was thinking about selling BB to begin, which I know would have cost me some money. I read through a few pages here, but didn't find an answer.

CWA swap will be 1:1 and you should have them coded the same as you got them, i.e. developer or resale stays the same. However, if you wanted to drop BB, then just take the likely couple hundred buck sale proceeds.

Read the swap letter guidance shared in the OP tracker table and FAQ section of this thread here: https://tugbbs.com/forums/threads/w...post-for-this-unfolding-set-of-events.375888/

Then let us know if you have any follow up questions.

I read the swap letter after I made my initial post. It seems like we won't know the proceeds (or even ballpark) before we have to make a decision re-point swap vs. proceeds. Assuming the money received in any proceed will be tiny, but this might be my only opportunity to get out without having pay money to a broker lol

So you read the guidance we have posted in the OP here that provides guidance on these types of questions - graphic pasted below for direct reference - red highlights for emphasis - which basically aligns with your questions and assumptions on how to move forward:

Confirmed from Wyndham:

If an owner is no long a member of the Club due to no active contracts, then the RCI membership will become inactive resulting in a loss of any remaining points in the RCI account. If there are any existing RCI reservation booked, those will remain as is and the inactive RCI account will then close after that vacation date has passed.

EDIT: I've also added a FAQ Item for this issue in the OP.

Fairfield bay owner here. looking at hte CWA swap as i have deposited points in future years. Can anyone point me to documents that explain the give back option to exit if I want to get out after a few more years?

 

[hjsweet2002]

My understanding is that BB HOA approved bankruptcy proceedings yesterday. No surprise as Wyndham owned 55% of the votes

I think that makes sense. Points deletion at the first of the year and removing contracts from accounts sometime related to the actual sale.

I'll validate these assumptions on my upcoming call with Wyndham tomorrow. If anyone has any other outstanding questions that would benefit all impacted owners, please post them here before 1:00pm ET tomorrow.

The only things Wyndham has put out publicly about Certified Exit are intentionally very vague. I'll also add that from my observation, what had been a fairly predictable program has become much less predictable this year - and my personal theory is that some/most of that change has been due to these closures and their impact on Wyndham's owned inventory and/or staff workload. I hope it will settle back down over the next year, but there's no way of knowing.

Prior to around midyear this year, Club Wyndham Access was almost a sure thing to give back via Certified Exit, and it seemed the majority of UDI deeded contracts were also accepted. Fixed/converted fixed week contracts were always more hit or miss (but not universally rejected, either). Of late, Wyndham seems to be rejecting most Certified Exit inquiries including CWA, but some are also being accepted - so it seems they are still offering the program, but with a very low limit on the number of contracts they'll take which is regularly changing. I've seen owners on Facebook report being rejected, calling back weekly or more often, and eventually being accepted.

If the program settles back into a new normal after all this, so far we've seen a few things remain consistent:
- Whether Wyndham will take back a contract depends on the contract itself (i.e. if it's CWA or a certain deeded location) being on its list to take, but not whether it was resale or retail.
- The list changes regularly. We used to say call back quarterly or after the 1st of each month, but it has definitely been more fluid the last six months or so.
- In normal times, it takes around 12-20 weeks to get through the process, during which you continue paying maintenance fees.

unfortunately this link provides zero information. what are the costs / limitations / requirements etc. of the exit? I've given up on the Wyndham cares phone line after 3 phone calls totaling 5 hours of hold time without ever getting my call answered. But I'd like to know the details of the exit stategies before I do the swap.

thanks for the information. It sounds like the CWA contract has no stipulations in it for exiting: seems rather open-ended. It surprises me (probably shouldnt) that the contract doesnt stipulate this in lieu of a deed. How can a contract be enforced without a defined option to end the contract?
