The Credit Pool is not dead yet. People that beat the cutoff date for credit pooling new deposits still can use them though up to 2020 depending on their situation and when they credit pooled the points.
Ok. I’ll give you that one. Clarify it’s dead as in you can’t put additional points into the Credit Pool

I thought the credit pool was dead-gone.
Now there is illegal Credit Pooling - what is that and how do we put points in the illegal Credit Pool ?
You didn’t respond to my post #94
If Wyndham only wanted to stop the pulling of future points into the current year what’s wrong with what paxsarah and I pointed out.
Non VIP in 2018 can extend thier points to December 31,2020. But they have pick 2019 or 2020
If the non VIP could use a Point Deposit Feature that would be good for 3 years those points would only be good till March 31,2021 another 3 months without the restriction of having to pick a use year to put the points in.
I think owners could understand why the credit pool needed fixed.

Yes the credit pool was broken so change the name to Points Deposit Feature with the fix. The current Points Deposit Feature fixed the problem but also destroyed the flexibility for non stripper owners

Good suggestion and good luck with that

No I don’t think it had anything to do with the mega-strippers as you put it.
All Wyndham had to do was use the current time frames and rules of the point deposit feature with one change
The only change you could put points in the Points Deposit Feature and they would be good for 3 years instead of picking 1 of 2 years.
Problem solved!! So simple!!
No more pulling future years points forward to use now other than the rules on borrowing in the Express Reservation Period.
Instead Wyndham and you blame the mega-strippers when Wyndham helped to keep the stripping profitable by repeatedly taking the stripped contracts back

Despite what some conspiracy theorists may believe, I am not in charge. I am just a lowly owner in Club Wyndham who finds the discussions and developments fascinating.

Ask the Regulators who do make the rules, why they made the rule changes that they made.

I would expect them to lie as to why. So, I'll pass on asking.

It would be nice if they just do as others have suggested and let us have more than one year of future availability on current year deposited points.

You get your choice of two years. Which is pretty good. The only reason you don’t think so is that you were , like me, spoiled by the old credit pool

I first bought wyndham just a they ended the practice of owner to owner transfers. Owners used to be able to own a very small account but take multiple vacations by “renting” points from others. There were lots of owners that didn’t like it when that ended, but they got over it

You will get over this credit pool/points deposit change too

I'll adapt, but, I'll never 'get over' it. They limited my vacation planning flexibility.

If they only allowed credit pooling of current years points for 3 years with the current time timeframe of the Points Deposit it would’ve been a good sales tool. If you move up to Platinum you have 9 more months to deposit your points and your points wil be available 9 months LONGER than non VIP .

But now all points expire on the same day no matter if your VIP or not
