*** New Thread: KBV Vote for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Everyone that can bail out from KBV and Wyndham should bail out NOW. Get out while the getting out is good. Celebrate the end of timeshare with Wyndham. You can get all the resorts at much less cost through other means: vacation clubs, etc. Do not give Wyndham one more penny of your $$$$. Enjoy life without monthly maintenance fees. There is so much less than you used to receive with Wyndham. Now you barely get housekeeping or essentials or great resorts that need a lot of work. Save your $$$$. This should not be a difficult decision. There are awesome resorts that you are able to book without tying yourself to Wyndham. I owned my travel agency for 14 years and know what is available out there for a lot less $$$. Leave Wyndham NOW.
 
Fyi I bought kbv Wyndham resale every other year pts a couple yrs ago. I called Wyndham a couple days ago and they let me swap to access points, no extra cost. Reservations I already had for 2026 were kept and they said the paper work would be sent out mid Feb by someone from Travel and Leisure.

This is true...all you need to do is go to a site like www.extraholidays.com. You'll see that Wyndham is renting out timeshare units for about the same cost per night as you'll pay in maintenance fees. We had KBV for over 25 years and always transferred to RCI points. We got our value out of it in the first few years, but since COVID the cost to rent the same unit on the open market is frequently about the same as maintenance fees. We are very glad to be out of KBV!

They let you do the swap already? They told me they couldn't help me until Feb at the earliest since they had to take care of the Fairfield closures first.
 
If the "paperwork will be sent out in Feb," it certainly isn't done yet. IMNSHO, with the way Wyndumb is getting swamped with calls right now, I would not count on anything you hear over the phone, until you have the actual paperwork in-hand.
 
Hello everyone. As a Pahio every other year, deed owner, I wish to simply wash my hands of this timeshare nightmare. No past conversion to Wyndham or point system - just a straight up deed.

It is my understanding nothing is needed on my part at this time other than to wait for the bankruptcy process to unfold. Am I correct in this assumption?
 
That's what I understand.

We are in the same situation. If you find out any new relevant information, please share! Thanks.
 
I spoke with Wyndham last week and asked specifically what my options where and what I needed to do for my every other year points at KBV
1. Can swap them for Wyndham. The agent actually told me “ I don’t see why you would want to do that”
2. Do nothing and basically let the process run its course and maybe I’d get a few bucks back in the end. “There is nothing you need to do if this is the direction you choose to take”. Don’t have to opt in or out. Just do nothing.

Works for me!
Hope this helps
