Question about Club Wyndham Access

[richardjc]

Watch out for the low feedback bidders they are usually shills that run the price up. Private identity auctions I recommend staying away from as its always good to see feedback of who is bidding price up . The higher the bidders positive feedback is the better. Also look at how many other items the bidder has bid on. Shill bidders most of the time have 100% of their bidding on one auction or only one sellers item.

Added to my Watchlist! Couple follow up questions. Can you still book Worldmark resorts even as a resale? Read something on the members directory that made me unsure. How much does it cost to carry over points if you don't use it that year? Can you keep carrying them over or does it stop after 1 year?

Can you still book Worldmark resorts even as a resale?

Not via Club Pass no. There are some resorts that have inventory in both WorldMark and Wyndham, and you can book the Wyndham side directly.

Not having Club Pass is IMO not that big of a deal---you are several months after WM owners can book, so anything that is very high-demand will be gone by the time you could book it.

How much does it cost to carry over points if you don't use it that year? Can you keep carrying them over or does it stop after 1 year?

Resale-only owners can deposit points forward during the first three months of their Use Year. You can choose to deposit either one or two years ahead. Each deposit is currently $39. You cannot deposit them a second time.

To clarify, you may deposit your 2021 year's points into either 2022 or 2023. You may accumulate up to 3 use years of points by moving your 2021 and 2022 points into the 2023 use year. But you must meet the early deadlines for making these deposits.

Also, you may extend the life of points that are about to expire by depositing them into RCI, where they'll be good for another 2 years from the date of deposit to RCI. The number of points deposited at one time into your RCI account must be 10,000 or more, in whole-thousand increments.

You can also extend the RCI points for use in the third year for a minimal fee. It was $129 a few years back. The $129 is for 1 point or a unlimited amount of points. The fee to extend becomes very inexpensive the more points you have to extend. I extended 5 million at one time a few years back.
