First purchase should always be resale. Risk around $1,000.00 to learn the system and see if Wyndham is for you. The OP is 54 with 2 teenagers. Their family may decide it’s best for them to go back and buy from Wyndham in order to become VIP. That’s exactly what my family did. If you don’t need over 400k points you definitely want all resale points as they work pretty much the same as Wyndham purchased points.

I’ve always said one show doesn’t fit all and we each put different values on things in life.

We are somewhat self defeating here. We tell people to rescind which leaves Wyndham with more inventory. Then Wyndham puts pressure on EH to rent that inventory. Then we complain about EH rentals taking the units we want.

We will never know how many people rescind from reading here and not posting asking for themselves. I know we did rescind after reading on TUG without asking if we should rescind ourselves several years ago

Every time I visit a resort there seems to be no shortage of timeshare sales people or people being marched around on tour despite the fact that there is plenty of information about timeshares just a few clicks away on their smartphones.

People have the personal responsibility to do a little research before spending a huge amount on a timeshare. When they do that research, we should reward them by helping them.

Overall, I think EH is doing well because the economy is strong and lots of people are going on vacation. The more demand, the more EH will grab rooms if they can. Likewise, more timeshare owners are grabbing rooms as well. This tightens inventory. Then you have the Wyndham computer system debacle, which no doubt is impacting inventory.

I don't think people recinding is having much impact. It would be interesting to see the stats on recessions, but I'm guessing they have been pretty much the same for years.

I just wanted to add about what THEO said about the RCI being part of Wyndham.

I recently just got a timeshare from the developers this past Sunday (sent in my Cancellation letter Monday) and during my presentation I was told how RCI is a $2,500 deal (along with something else that's another $2,500 just cant remember what it was) and that both things would cost $5,000 total but that they were giving it to me for FREE. And now after reading what THEO had said I'm just thinking about how deceptive they are to get those sales.

They even "lowered" the price after and the main salesman told me to ask his boss about getting those two things thrown in (RCI & the other thing) and that they're really great things to have even though they cost so much and that I should walk away if they don't give it to me for FREE. He told me that they'll give in to "my demands" cuz they want my sale...

Such a deal I have for you! Not. Everyone gets an RCI account. The other thing might have been the Wyndham Perks.
