Combining EOY point with Annual Wyndham Points

[xray121995]

Hello, I was wondering if I'll be able to combine points. I own 105,000 EOY odd, and just purchased 105,000 annual points from an ebayer. I asked to have the deed put in the same exact way the my other one is listed. Will Wyndham then allow me to combine my points so on Odd years I'd have 210,000 points and on even years 105,000 points? Just wondering how to deal with this. Thanks for any help.

YES wyn will allow you to combine the pts but only during the open season and not during the home resort reservation period (AKA ARP).

PS I'm moving this to the Wyndham board.

If both are in the same resort, Wyndham will allow you to combine them for ARP.

It is very hard to create 2 different accounts. Wyndham usually automatically put them into the same account. Unless you have too many contracts.

Yes they will.

I just had Wyndham combine my two accounts into one (since they stopped pt transfers it doesn't pay to have seperate accounts anymore).

I already notice that in odd years I have the total amount of points listed as available.

thank you, they are two different places but that was OK for me. The one I just bought was for Bluebeard Beach Club in St. Thomas. After a little more research on the reviews, people state that it is old and worn out. I hope I didn't buy myself into more money, that we'll have to pay for the update too soon. Any info on that would be appreciated.

Another question. How far ahead can you borrow from the following year? Say one year we want to take a large amount of points to take family along, and want to stay in Hawaii. We may need Odd year and Even year points, is that possible and how far out can you borrow?

Thank you, Wendy

You can borrow as soon as your point is given (13 month before use year start), to make reservation with 90 days period.

To move it out, you can either make a reservation with the same point size that is within 90days and borrow the points than cancel it and make the real reservation, or just deposit it to credit pool.

I'm not sure about the condition of the resort. BUT There was a significant conversation about Bluebeards a few years ago. I thought it was no longer going to be a Wyn resort. So be sure that it is still with Wyn. Never mind it was Bluebeard Castle not Bluebeard Beach Club.

AND Closing on a TS in St Thomas may take a lot longer than buying a TS in the US. I'd check on that too.

Good Luck

IF Wyndham would decide not to have a specific place as their resort, what would happen to the people that owned points at that resort?

On average how much is the fee (forggot the correct name for it) if they do updates at a resort, still thinking about the negative reviews I read on Bluebeard Beach club?

My husband and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary next January and would like to take a great vacation using our 210,000 points available to us in 2011. Any suggestions, we want warm, sun and probably beach.

Thanks again for your help.

They may need to form their own exchange system. Or pay Wyndham some x amount to joint a new program (i.e., if there is no class action happen already), or just change the inventory to floating type of week system.

I will assume you mean the gift for attending owner update, it is negotiable, and a little bit different based on locations to start with. But recently, the amount does sound less.

As to some place warm in Jan, try FL, Hawaii, South California. Or try exchange route to Austria (it is summer there), try renting in Mexico (will be cheaper with most all inclusive fee), or maybe Spain if they did not increase their tax too much.

Is there any way of finding out if there are any plans for a specific resort to do any updating that we will need to pay for now or in the future?

Actually I mean the fee or whatever it's called if your "Home Resort" updates or does anything to the present units to make them up to date.

Thanks for the help. This board has very knowledgable people and I really appreciate the info.

I think you mean a Special Assessment.

They are hard to predict. The usual sign would be the resort is looking rundown.
MF's are not covering what needs to be done.

Another could be a physical event such as hurricane damage where reserves and insurance were not sufficient to cover costs to repair.

Boards don't announce their intentions and the best way to know of such things is to participate in some way in the running of your home resort POA.

Bluebards Beach Club

I think Blueberads Beach Club has its own Yahoo group, where owners communicate with each other.

Maybe another tugger/owner can provide more info.

I have heard that this is actually a pretty nice resort with a great beach and a lot of involved owners.

 

[xray121995]

I'd love to know what the Yahoo group website is. Please tell me if anyone can help. Thank you, Wendy

Go to Yahoo, click on "my Yahoo!" (you may need to register), click on left top, "Groups", than type "Bluebeards Beach Club" and do search.

It is for owner only.

I know we have several tuggers that own resort in that area, you may want post a separate one in the area specific area for that resort.

You will not be able to tell if a Special Assessment is coming or not. You will know it after it happen. Usually, the simple way is when you saw a resort that you are interested, you can try to do eBay search, and see all the ads. Some may state you will need to reimburse the SA. Than you can find their forums and check if SA is mentioned or not. Than check the MF with the same class of resorts in the same area, and see if it is in similar range.

If you know the resort and visit there few time, you will get a feeling how well the resort is maintained, and if SA is potential coming or not.

If it is due to nature disaster, than none can do anything about it.

Thank you I found it and requested to be admitted to the group. I am happy with my purchase either way, SA, or not. I think I'll do another general thread on TUG and see if there are any other owners for BBC. I appreciate the help. I love this board. I've owned Wyndham for about 8 years and just found this site. Really lots of great people with tons of knowledge, and I'm just glad you are willing to share it.
