My younger brother is in the process of purchasing (resale) a EOY (even years) deeded fixed week ownership at a Wyndham facility. The ownership has apparently already been converted to Fairshare Plus points. He knows about the 13 months out reservation requirement to guarantee himself access to his own (but not-yet-closed) purchase / fixed week.
No 2008 reservation was ever made by the seller and the points issued for 2008 were not otherwise used or committed. The underlying deeded week for 2008 has long since passed. The limited documentation my brother has in possession, which I skimmed through briefly last night, suggests that the 2008 points will (predictably) expire on 12/31/08. He doesn't care about those 2008 points --- it's the underlying week that he really wants, beginning in 2010.
That's the background info. I'm curious --- is there any way, with or without a fee (if so, what's the fee?) for him to salvage and "carry over" those 2008 points beyond 12/31/08? It seems highly unlikely to me that all closing details will actually be completed until just before the end of this calendar year 2008, so actually using those points anytime within the short remainder of 2008 seems somewhere squarely between highly unlikely and outright impossile.
Informed input (vs. mere speculation) would be welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
