So glad I found you in time!
I own at Newport-on-shore,prime summer week, never lose money on rentals if I don't use.
facts:
-Don't belong to RCI
-Don't travel much for a week at a time, but more 4 to 5 day vacations.
In last 20 years have used second bedroom 10 days total.
The Wyndham tale.
-Checked in and were told we needed to learn about how wyndham operates and how to lower our maintenance fee....we bit.
-Heard about the points (ours is worth 175000) seemed perfect for our travel needs...you can use less, smaller suite, less days. Too perfect.
-Hitch...They said, there was absolutely NO WAY I could convert my TS to points UNLESS we bought another unit. They added that since, we had NEVER been told about the point system, they would roll back price of to several years ago. (they threw in an extra shareplus (162,000 )points for 2 1/2 years. plus the points of the new resort. Capital Cove right outside Washington, D.C.
-So now I have a completely paid off time share and a huge bill for another (I KNEW there was a recission clause.)
-They told us that once they offered us this ONE TIME conversion, they were not allowed to offer this to us again. (They went to check -or so they said- to make sure we weren't offered the conversion before.)
-This offer was only good THAT day and we could not come back. (They probably didn't want me to come back to use the internet...which is exactly what I did.)
So any advice from you gurus?
-Is it true I cannot convert my unit to points WITHOUT buying another unit. If I can convert, how do I do this...as the sales people said NOT POSSIBLE.
-How can I benefit from the points system (mine is worth 175,000) and add to them WITHOUT spending literally thousands of dollars.
I want the points, do not want to give up my prime week deed, and do not want to buy another unit.
I can return materials to them as I'm still in Newport. But, gosh, what a hassle.
Thanks so much,
Sandy
