Yeah, you can be the "Well, Actually" reply-guy, but it isn't very helpful. In "Wyndham speak", there are three broad classes of points ownership, and they tend to use the following labels:
- Converted week: You own a deed for a specific (fixed or floating) week, and assign the usage rights of that week to Club Wyndham, and in exchange are awarded points. The (estimated) fees on these are paid in the year prior to use, on a monthly basis, with rollover of the estimated surplus/shortfall into the following year. You can only ARP into the specific usage rights of the underlying deed.
- Undivided Interest: You own a deed that is simply a fraction of (some part of) a specific resort, to which a nominal points value is assigned. The fees are paid in the year of use, on a monthly basis. You can ARP into anything in (that part of) the resort.
- Access: You own a fractional interest in a trust; it is not deeded property. Fees are assessed based on the average of the underlying property to which the trust has usage rights, according to the framework at each underlying property (converted week or UDI). You can ARP into any inventory to which the underlying trust has usage rights.
Converted weeks can be EOY. I suspect UDI can be too, but I don't know for sure. There are also some richer ARP models where some resorts have mutual ARP into each other, but they can probably be safely ignored for this conversation. The Shell resorts, likewise, have pooled ARP into one of a handful of groups of resorts.
