Yes, but you would probably have to obtain guest certificates for them unless they are co-owners. Even then, I think RCI has a limit of how many people they will let you list on the account.
It is so satisfying to see RCAerobat ignoring the distorted advice from the very, VERY few negative Nellies in Club Wyndham and, instead, learning the "real story" on TUG and asking questions about the great vacations Club Wyndham can offer.
And sometimes Easter week is low season as well! I’m going to try to get a 4 bedroom unit in Easter ‘25.
And this is an example of a time when the season doesn't necessarily reflect demand. These low-points holidays are great for saving points, but the demand is very high for these flukey values and booking when your booking window opens is even more important.
As I recall my conversion contract, they are allowed to rebalance point costs to reflect changing demand, so long as the total number of points in a year do not change. So, if e.g. Thanksgiving goes up a season, some other week must go down. I don't see any reason why they would not have put the same clause in a UDI resort, but I don't own one so cannot confirm.
There are always multiple sides to a story, so I don’t mind hearing the good and bad and weigh that for myself. I have never understood the “advantage” of buying a retail timeshare, but purchasing a resale to me looks like a good opportunity. These Wyndham resorts are a lot nicer than anything I’d be likely to pay for on my own as a hotel. Anyway, thanks for all of your advice!
Have you looked at the Club Wyndham directory? You could have a 5-night stay (Sun.-Fri.) in Prime time each year for only 135,000 points. Look at the various resorts you might want to visit and when, then calculate how many points, on average, that works out to in a year. There is a minimum program fee ($175 in 2023) that is part of the maintenance fees, then an additional $0.70/thousand points beyond that. I would think 154,000 points would be an absolute minimum to start, but you would pay the same minimum program fee for that size as you would on a 210,000 points contract.
If you want your first vacation next spring, then purchasing in the May-July timeframe would get you into Club Wyndham by the end of the year to book a spring vacation, without paying much for 2024 points that you probably would not receive as part of the ownership transfer. Once you have decided on how many points per year you want, start watching for approximately that size contract and buy it when it appears. It would be more important, to me, to get what I want at a low maintenance fee resort when I find it, then trying to save a few hundred bucks one-way-or-another.

They would have to re-write and re-issue ALL UDI contracts. There are specific weeks listed and units listed in old contracts (with fractions of ownership).
There are a few Florida resorts that are not Prime season for Thanksgiving week. Destin is Value season for Thanksgiving and weeks 51 & 52. "One resort" might be a mistake; a "collection of resorts" is just a benefit of owning in Club Wyndham.
Wyndham resale contract transfers in general are painfully slow, that’s not an eBay thing, that’s a Wyndham thing.
You only get arp during your use year. If you move the points forward, you no longer get ARP. How many points do you currently get in the odd years?
