My wife and I purchased a Club Wyndham Resort package last week. I'm doing my due diligence prior to our Sunday deadline to rescind. After thorough research here on TUG BBS, we've decided to cancel our contract and are in this process. Hoping to use this as a learning tool for future considerations.
I am aware that there are lots of little details that can be discussed, but I hope to keep this more basic and simple for ease of responses. All the smaller details, "perks", etc., are not of importance to us at this time.
Contract:
156K purchased pts (annual pt total)
244K bonus pts
$86 monthly maintenance fee
Purchased for $23K
(*not related to the contract, and I would think many of you are keen to these additional pts)
$99 for 30,000 pts to attend session (already used 1 night 15,000 to extend vacation 1 day)
30,000 pts for spending $1K on new Wyndham credit card within bonus time period
Awaiting 2-100K pt vouchers from a drawing. We were told they can be given away
to friends/family
400K pts (+30K + 30K + 2*100K) for a total of 660K pts
So... after research..
We've decided this is a poor investment and we are cancelling.
A few questions I would like to ask:
1. What would be the best process, and what could be considered a reasonable cost, if I was to put this type of package together myself? (re-sale, "private" purchase, etc.)
2. After the contract is cancelled, the 400K pts will be void. What about the non-contracted pts? If these pts are still available, from what source would I access them? Through our ClubWyndham "membership", or will this be voided as well? I would think the credit card pts earned will be available and managed through it directly, but I'm curious how the others would work, most notably the vouchers/certificates.
Thanks folks. Any information will be appreciated. And if you know of any specific links or threads that may geared more towards these questions, please share.
I'm sure I'll have some follow-up questions after hopefully receiving some helpful responses, so thank you for your patience ahead of time.
I will say we didn't feel pressured, and I believe our rep is a truly genuine person, but the package is a family investment, so we want to do things right the 1st time without regret.
