I believe top management really thought that Ovation would put an end to the relief companies working with their product. They never understood that some folks would rather pay to get rid of their points than give Wyndham the opportunity to make even more money off of them

When you step back and think about it, Ovations is Wyndham replicating and taking back your 3 years of stripped contract points system, but without paying the three or more outside LLCs that were their intermediaries. The exiting owners are happy and Wyndham still gets back relatively cheap inventory.

They wouldn’t be dealing with timeshare relief companies and could easily verify the existing owners being current on their MFs.

Not so. Ovations will only take back deeds without current years use and they will not take back with out future years use unless you pay the points rental option of $12/1000 on the points that are not available. Ovations acceptance letter attached below.
This email is to recap that you are voluntarily agreeing to participate in the Ovation by Wyndham program and understand and agree to the following requirements as we discussed today.
Maintenance Fee: Must be and stay current until process is complete. Any paid fees are not refundable.

Documentation to return inventory: You understand that you will receive by email/mail documentation to return your inventory within 8-10 weeks. These documents must be signed, notarized, and returned within the number of days indicated on the documentation. Please keep in mind the sooner the documentation is returned the earlier the process may be completed. Once the document is received, it may take within 6-8 weeks for documents to be approved and the cancellation to be completed.

Third Party Company Assistance: You understand that retaining counsel or third party company to assist with the Ovation program may disqualify your application.

Title Issues: Discrepancies with owner recorded transfer deeds, issues with chain of title, missing documentation needed to record with deed to return inventory, proof of name changes, estate matters etc. and other changes that were not received by Wyndham Title department, may delay the process until proper documentation is received.

Ownership: You must own contract for at least 12 months

Third Party Financial Institution: Any portion of loan paid using a credit card or any other financial institution (PayPal, bank loan, mortgage equity or other) is of sole responsibility of owner accepting an Ovation option.

Reservations: All reservations will be canceled and points forfeited. You will be able to keep any secured reservation paid with Resort Condominium International (RCI).

New Travel reservations during Ovation process: In the event that 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 Destinations or one of its business partners (Travel, RCI, and others) during the process, your cancelation may be interrupted and you will have to wait until the next use year to participate in the Ovation program, once all points are available.

Point’s/Credit usage: Future year’s points/credits must be unused or reservation must be canceled or point rental option is also available.

Multiple contracts: One acknowledgement per contract is required and must be returned.

Ovation by Wyndham offer: Program and inventory acceptance may change without notice. Any changes in the program, will not impact a case that is in process.

As one of those who benefited from your "pay it forward", it's good to see you back posting on the forums. Hope all is well.

Did anyone download this? I am trying to put together a history Worldmark Maintenance fees from 1990 to present so if this is Worldmark it may be very helpful.
I have it but it’s Wyndham not Worldmark.
