Options inside the 14 day window

[Soccer Canada]

Hello All,
I know likely what the answer is here.
For what its worth I have a booking I need to cancel inside the 14 day window. Has anyone ever gotten any mileage calling in to ask for forgiveness on the cancellation policy? Or what I am coming to grips with is my points are likely gone unless I can rent it out and recoup basically anything. Are there any 3rd options that I am missing? or Tricks I am unaware off? I dont have any status and the points are all resale (Which in these situations probably doesn't help me any knowing Wyndham, but guess I didn't pay for them either so its probably a cost of doing business)

TIA!!

Hi Canada:
Which Wyndham location? Someone here might be able to swap? or at least pay you $800 to rent your week on our last-minute rentals? That would recoup something…

Club Wyndham Ocean Blvd. Already posted it on the Last Minute in hopes of that.. Its honestly drips in a bucket as to what this cancellation is going to cost but anything I can recoup the better. I just don't have the emotional assets left at this point to appeal to Wyndham's better nature (ha) if its just talking to a wall and policy is policy, if its a bit of a YMMV deal then I would maybe try.

I would definitely call. Especially if it's the first time you've made such an ask. More often, than not, they will accommodate you. Last time I messed up, the VC was happy to help IF I moved my reservation versus just cancel.

If you don't ask the answer is no. Therefore, you have nothing to lose by asking.

Update.
I carved out some time today in between things. Was about a 25 minutes hold. I got an agent who did truly seem to care, I explained to him the dilemma. He put me on hold to speak to I am assuming a supervisor who approved the cancellation penalty free on an exception. Sounds like its YMMV, but if you had a truly good reason and didn't have a record of doing this repeatedly you should be okay. Probably one of my better interactions with Wyndham.

Out of curiosity, are you a resale owner or did you buy your points from the developer?

Currently just resale. We were developer many many years ago (learned that lesson the hard way), but that contract was paid off and given away quite some time ago.
