Annual Owners a meeting September 2nd - Clearwater

[Richelle]

haha...thats outstanding.

just wearing it would be payment enough for us, no need to send us royalties =)

Thanks. I'll buy everyone who buys one an 85 cent cup of coffee.

 

[Richelle]

What do you guys think? I think this would be a great way to figure out which attendees are TUG owners, and promote the site. @TUGBrian, seeing this is the TUG logo, let me know where I should send the royalties to, or if there is a way to set it up automatically. I've never sold a design on Zazzel before.

The content review team has to review this design before posting it. Once it's live, I'll post the link.

 

[Richelle]

It's available for purchase. I will buy an 85 cent cup of coffee for anyone who wears these to the meeting. Wait a couple of weeks to buy, just in case they change the location. If they do, I'll update the design with the new location name.

It appears Club Wyndham has instituted new developer asking price increase from $253 per 1,000 to $265 per 1,000 (4.5% increase)
https://www.wyndhaminteractivesaleshub.com/club-wyndham/pricing-history.pdf

I have also heard from a Club Wyndham contact (Yes accept the comment "If their lips are moving...") that the two lower levels of Privileges/VIP will not have unlimited housekeeping. Current VIP silver will keep unlimited housekeeping. Gold and higher would keep unlimited housekeeping

I also have noticed more and more resorts showing up on Club Wyndham website searches
They are not yet posted on the map but show up by other searching methods

September's Clearwater meeting should have good content

Question:
Has Club Wyndham announced how to sign up and participate virtually at the Clearwater September meeting?

A telesales rep I talk to, did tell me they were increasing the price. Unless you're buying less than 64,000 points, you're not paying that amount. The price on 105,000 point packages are remaining roughly the same. It really depends on how good you are at negotiating, and how hungry the sales rep is. The new locations are Shell resorts. They announced that last month I think. There was an email sent out, but not everyone got it. I had heard they were taking away unlimited housekeeping from everyone, but this was way back when they first announced it. There was a leaked memo that detailed that existing VIPs would keep that benefit and that it would change from "credits" to "free cleans". Of course, things have changed several times since then. It's possible all but the new Bronze tier will have unlimited housekeeping, and that sales rep was trying to get you to go to Gold. I agree that this year's meeting will have some good content. I think it's great that they are going to have a virtual option so more can see it.

 

[Richelle]

The meeting location has not changed yet. Who is still going?

 

[erniecrews]

GOD willing, I plan on being there.

I'm going to give them another 10 days to see if they change the location. If they don't I'll order the TUG mask.

Given the county Tampa is in is one of the hardest hit COVID-19 counties outside of Miami-Dade, As much as we would like to go, we're most likely not going. My wife is a nurse at a long term care facility for immunodeficient patients and has additional travel restrictions placed upon her that we need to take into account. It's just not worth the risk.

 

[WyndhamBarter]

I'm about to cancel a 2BR reservation for 9/1-5, unless someone here
wants to claim it. True to my username, I'm not looking for money;
just goodwill.

Has anyone heard any details yet on how they are implementing the promise of "a virtual option will be available this year.
If you can’t make it to Clearwater Beach, you’ll still be able to participate from the comfort of your own home."?

Yes, there is still going to be a virtual option. I checked recently. We’ll just have to wait and see. Of course, that could change, but unless there is some technical limitation, I don’t see why they would take away the virtual option. I booked a two bedroom deluxe for ours.

 

[Sandi Bo]

I hate to miss a meeting or an excuse to go to Clearwater, but we won't be making the trip, we're pretty well hunkered down and will continue to be for the near future. Hoping they come through with the virtual option.

 

[bendadin]

I am planning on attending.

 

[bendadin]

So are we at 3 or 4 attending? If there is a Q & A contest we are going to need some help although there may be a couple of ringers attending.

 

[bryjake]

Anyone hear anything further about attending this meeting remotely?

"To that end, a virtual option will be available this year. If you can’t make it to Clearwater Beach, you’ll still be able to participate from the comfort of your own home."

 

[Richelle]

I would imagine we would hear something soon. It’s two weeks from the meeting.

If you're signed up for the annual owners meeting then you likely got the email about an hour ago that the meeting is cancelled. At the end of the email it states that the standard cancellation policy still applies even though they waited until just one after the last day to cancel if you have a reservation made checking in the night before the meeting. I hope they realize that's a really crappy thing to do and allow us to cancel the reservations we made specifically to be able to attend the meeting. If not I wouldn't want to be one of the unlucky Wyndham employees stuck being a presenter at next year's meeting.

 

[WyndhamBarter]

Wow. And they didn't even decide to go virtual-only? Wow.

 

[HitchHiker71]

No it’s moved to virtual only, here’s the email we received:

There is a virtual option. They gave us a link to it on the email. They said it’s going to be recorded as well and will be available for all to view.

 

[WyndhamBarter]

Right - thanks I spoke too soon. It's mentioned on the website:

The registration says it’s only 2 hours. A normal meeting is 4 hours. Guess they won’t be going over much.

I just called the VIP line. I canceled and got my points back.

So did I. A 2 bdrm PR should be showing up soon, 1st to the 7th.

Same here - called this morning, but mine wasn’t for a full week.

We’re still trying to decide if we want to stay anywhere else.
