Just looking at the pictures, I'm not sure there's anything different other artwork, wallcoverings, and differently colored furniture. I'll stick with the non-EB units unless that's the only thing available.

It is interesting that they are promoting Eddie Bauer while that company is in bankruptcy and closing all of it's stores.

They must have gotten a good deal on use of the IP.

I didn't know Eddie Baur was going bankrupt. Maybe they are staying open online in some way.

Update in Austin

So much for Eddie Bauer: https://www.thestreet.com/retail/106-year-old-retailer-eddie-bauer-closing-all-stores-in-chapter-11-bankruptcy Maybe the stores ... ... not the brand: "ORLANDO, Fla - July 29, 2025 - Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL), the world's leading leisure travel company, today...

"Eddie Bauer" is nothing other than a brand owned and licensed by Authentic Brands.

Wyndham is using the brand as a marketing promotion to a younger, "experience-oriented" demographic. Just look at this piece of marketing -- not a child or grandchild, beach, high rise hotel. or swimming pool in it

More of a "get out there in it" and then come back to a condo instead of a tent or campground.

Now that we are older I do like a condo, lol.

I have to wonder how many younger people (who can't even afford their rent, car payments, let along be able to buy a home) even know what Eddie Bauer even is. I doubt many ever set foot in an Eddie Bauer brick and mortar location (I mean, before they wall closed) or wore an article of clothing. So one has to wonder how effective this marketing strategy will be.

I find the whole thing as a sneaky way to back-door a points cost bump at resorts.

Yeah, supposedly they used "unused rooms" at Moab, but as they attempt to expand to other Worldmark locations, I wonder how they can expand without displacing Worldmark units. They sure aren't building anything...

More smoke and mirrors to sell at sales presentation. Last few I attended they pushed how I could unlock my equity in my owership. Sales closer came in to help me understand. All I needed to do is to buy more credits to make me a real owner.

Didn't you know? Buying more timeshare via retail channels is the answer to every problem in life!

Of course it is, especially if you're employed as a commissioned salesman for Worldmark or Wyndham!

I wouldn't limit it to just Worldmark or Wyndham. Most timeshare salespeople seem to share the same outlook. It's just a difference in which company's product they see as the cure to all the world's ills.

What makes you think it is “sneaky” or “back-door”?

Wyndham has been “points bumping” credit charts for more than two decades when Club Wyndham 2-bedroom Prime Season weeks went from 154,000 credits to 325,000 for 2-bedroom “Deluxe” at Austin, TX or 275,000-308,000 for 2-bedroom and up to 360,000 for 2-bedroom "Deluxe" at Atlanta, GA, now. About a dozen of those 154,000 resorts are now so unloved, they closed on 1/1/2026.

And “credits bumping” in WorldMark from 10,000 credits for a 2-bedroom Red Season to 13,000 at Scottsdale, AZ and Moab, UT and now Eddie Bauer at Moab for 16,000 credits.

And do not forget when all the resort charts got “bumped-up” in 2013 for Club Pass – plus an exchange fee.

Nothing new here.

Would it surprise anyone if Worldmark started to charge $3 per credit to give back ownership using Ovations/ certified exit?
