I think I've seen at least two in other groups in the last day or so too. My question is how they're (Wyndham? The HOA? The lawyers?) managing to contact owners now but didn't manage to contact them before. The communication part of this has been even worse than I expected (and the bar was low).
I agree, but wonder if some of those who say they had no idea simply ignored previous communications. That has been a noticeable theme when discussing other things in some of the groups.
Yes, it's primarily this. Wyndham has dispatched snail mail to all impacted owners - but most of them never bother to open the correspondence. We've brought up this issue repeatedly on our bi-weekly calls with Wyndham. Owners think it's just spam/newsletter/advertising or their annual bill or something, and don't pay it any heed. Unfortunately, even if the envelope says, "important legal information" or "IMPORTANT" on it, so does every other spam type snail mail that I get these days unfortunately. Perhaps using certain official statements/words should be illegal for advertising-based mailers.
Wyndham cannot make people open their mail unfortunately.
Doesn't the title department at Wyndham literally have ONE JOB? To correctly record deeds and paperwork? This is just beyond ridiculousness.
That's basically what I told the person on Facebook who asked - I have no idea, but I could see it going either way.
Thanks for the link. I'd been looking for something on Hilco's site.
That is the most recent, "current" edition.
That's the most recent Directory but I'm sure there's been supplements since then.
The most recent Directory Supplement was in 2024.
I can only speak for my experience. I only learned about the resort bankruptcies here. TUG BBS is the only reason I was able to make an informed decision. It seems rather ironic that Wyndham seems to do quite well communicating with me when they want to market something to me or when then want to charge me. But when they need to inform me about my resorts going bankrupt and when the CWA swap doesn't seem to be in their financial interest - suddenly they don't put much effort into making sure the offer makes it to me. Suddenly they can't seem to get my e-mail correct. The same e-mail that they send all sorts of offers to each month. They only put a small amount of resources to answering the phone for affected customers to call. And they still have never officially told me that my points are no longer avaialbe for use as they still show up in my account.
I obviously am not debating anything you are saying or your thoughts on the topic, but i would think that the CWA swap would be in Wyndahm's interests? They must have a ton of CWA points in inventory, and the longer they sit on Wyndahm's books, the more MFs they are responsible for every month. Getting them into accounts of bankrupt deed holders seems to be a good move for Wyndahm. Keeps the deedholders in the system, and gets inventory off their books. They still have plenty of inventory to sell at retail prices.
I believe the last two resorts added were Atlanta,GA and Austin,TX. Those were about 4-5 years ago.
Atlanta was just under 4 years ago, because it was nearing completion when I last ran the marathon there in February 2022. Austin is several years earlier than that. Also Portland.
Same here. While we have been getting notifications in the US mail, not one word via email. I did send an email inquiring about the points swap, purely as an exercise in futility, and it took them months to get back to me with a response that told me nothing.
They did add on to Shawnee after it became Wyndham. Not sure when that happened but almost certainly not in the past ten years. I think the "new" section is called Crestview, maybe someone can clarify.
