First off I would like to thank this forum and it's members so much. I joined 10 years ago after renting a property off of Airbnb that turned out to be a Wyndham timeshare. After the sales presentation we knew we wanted to get a contract and started to do research. Thanks to recommendations on here we bought a contract off of eBay for next to nothing. You all have been great and we learned so much.
Fast forward ten years and we don't travel as much. The maintenance fees do not make sense to us anymore. I called certified exit this morning and they said my 275k CWA contract qualifies at least for the first step of the process. I am including the email below so anyone who maybe feeling the same way can see the latest information they send to people starting the process. Hopefully it doesn't really take 20 weeks but I guess we shall see.

Dear xxxxx,
This letter is to confirm that you are voluntarily agreeing to participate in the Certified Exit by Wyndham program (“Certified Exit Program”). You understand and agree to the following requirements as we discussed today:
Maintenance Fee: Must be current, and must stay current, until this process has been completed. Maintenance fees paid are non-refundable.
Documentation to return inventory: You understand that you will receive by e-mail and/or mail documentation to return your inventory and these documents must be properly signed, notarized, and returned within the number of days indicated in the documents. Please keep in mind that the sooner the documents are returned, the earlier the transfer process may be completed. Once the documents are received, they will be reviewed for accuracy, if complete then approved, and the cancellation will be completed. Please allow up to 20 weeks for the entire process to be completed internally, not including any additional time it may take for you to return and complete the documents.
Third Party Company Assistance: Wyndham offers the Certified Exit Program directly to qualifying members at no additional cost. You understand that using a third-party to assist with the Certified Exit Program may disqualify your application.
Title Issues: Discrepancies with owner recorded transfers and deeds, issues with chain of title, improperly executed documents, missing documentation (needed to record the deed(s) and/or transfer documents), proof of name change, probate/estate matters, etc., and other changes and/or documents that are required but not received by Wyndham’s title department will delay this process until the proper document(s) is/are received and approved.
Third Party Financial Institution: You understand that you are solely responsible for any and all third-party debts and your participation in this program will not eliminate or reduce any third party debts, which may be due to a credit card company or other financial institutions, including but not limited to PayPal, Barclays, Comenity Bank, Citizens Pay, or any other loan, account, or indebtedness to any credit card company, bank, or lender arising out of or related to your ownership.
Reservations: All current reservations will be canceled and points/credits forfeited. You will be able to keep any secured reservation paid with Resorts Condominiums International (RCI) prior to entering this program.
New Travel reservations during Certified Exit process: If you book a reservation during this process your request to return your inventory may be cancelled. In case you use your points/credits with Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc., Wyndham Resort Development Corporation, or Shell Vacations, any of its affiliates, or RCI during this process, the request to return your inventory may be cancelled or interrupted, and you will have to wait until the next use year (once all your points/credits are available again) to requalify and participate in the Certified Exit Program.
Points/Credit usage: Future year's points/credits must be unused, or reservation must be canceled, or point rental option is also available.
Multiple contracts: Each separate contract requires its own acknowledgement. In the event a contract has multiple owners, each owner must sign.
Certified Exit by Wyndham offer: The Certified Exit Program and/or the inventory accepted is subject to change at any time without notice.
