I asked this same question about two years ago. The only one that responded was GrayFal. She was still active but has since unloaded her Wyndham ownership.

I asked a Wyndham rep in a phone conversation and he said he believes the number of us is down to the single digits.

This would be for the Wyndham accounts that Wyndham provides an II membership for rather than an RCO one, correct? I added my Avenue Plaza ownership to II this year when I renewed my personal II account.

There are tons of people who own both Wyndham and Marriott though.

I think the question is, are there any wyndham points owners using the crossover points grid to exchange through II with their Wyndham points? Wyndham has made a big push to get the grandfathered eligible Wyndham points members to change over to RCI (losing their grandfathered status) over the last 5+ years.

Since the question has been asked twice in the last two weeks and no one has responded affirmatively, it doesn't seem likely that any active TUG members fit the bill.

Yes, our first Wyndham timeshare purchase included the possibility of trading through II. A couple of years ago Wyndham "strongly" invited all of its II traders to switch to RCI. I believe that was after Wyndham and II affiliated. I suspect many folks didn't know the switch was optional.

I did ovations and gave back my ownership this past summer.
It has probably been 5 years since they “ suggested” we take a RCI account. I had to call and decline their kind offer.

I still have my Wyndham paid II account with three exchanges for February 2021. That is part of the Ovation deal; you get to keep any exchanges that were confirmed before you applied for the program. I am keeping a close eye on that account to make sure it stays active. .
