There’s this one, started by a guy who was big mad about the VIP/resale changes last summer. Little did he know there were already unhappy owner groups out there!
Must have worked. I have talked to him. He told me not to join because he did not want them seeking revenge on me. They silenced him but they did not cancel his guest passes. I forget but he has some 30 to 50 guest pass reservations coming up back then. He was mega renting because he feared towns would shut down short term renting with new laws and wanted to make his money back as soon as possible. He was correct about limits being placed on short term rentals. When Wyndham did not cancel his guest passes, he made his money back and is no longer renting like he did and using the points for himself which was his plan the whole time. He is also no longer buying more from Wyndham or resales and is no longer paying for guest passes. If he rents, it will be something like a lock off where he uses one unit and has a renter in another. That will cover his maintenance fees.

If the $15,000 a year maintenance fee person on FB is the person I am thinking about contact him and find out what happened. They silenced him by kicking him off the group page. When they did that, he created his own group page and told people not to join so they would not put a target on their back. I was curious what happened since he went quiet and was surprised by what happened to him.
