There is no such thing as converting over to Travel + Leisure.

That's pure BS from sales to get you to buy more Wyndham developer points - nothing more. T&L became the parent company not long after Wyndham Destinations purchased T&L back a few years ago now. T&L has exactly nothing to do with anything timeshare related - except for the fact that Wyndham Destinations became a wholly owned subsidiary of T&L as a public company traded on the stock market - in other words it's strictly a financial arrangement. T&L has nothing, nothing, to do with the timeshare entity. Stop going to sales updates - that's our best recommendation for folks who aren't savvy with the ploys used by sales to attempt to get unsuspecting owners to buy more timeshare points.

"Convert to Travel and Leisure" = buy more points

The points you already own are the exact same points that you would get if you "converted" aka, bought more points

So, the con is that it is very expensive.

The pro is that you would have more points. But that's only a pro if you need more points. And if you need more points, it is probably better to get them via resale for pennies on the dollar.

If you need more points, buy resale

Wyndham sales' department is relentless. What new "benefit" will they think of next?

I believe it was Wyndumb that bought T&L and guaranteed the Editorial Independence of the Magazine. Then adopted the name of T&L. Lip Stick on a Pig.
