I'm trying to understand the system, and my sister lost her contract. Could someone help me find the explanation of these terms......they appear to be important with reservations and with conversion to Wyndham.....It seems like Founding and Direct members can claim their contracted weeks, Premier can book home club time sooner than others.....and I'm wondering if these statuses transfer with resale.....
Any help is appreciated!

I’m pretty sure Founding Members are people like us that owned a deeded week at a Shell resort (Inn at the Opera for us) that traded it in for points once Shell Vacations Club was created.

John Paul, we have Inn of the Opera deed and never opted for Shell points. We deeded back four other timeshares and Inn at the Opera is our last timeshare. Any suggestions for selling this Opera unit other than a deedback and paying for closing costs to Shell?

Do not pay Wyndham anything in the process of this. I cannot stress enough that Wyndham is not a great system.

John Paul: I am attempting to book a 2br+ at Little Sweden in Wisconsin roughly December 23-30 for at least the week. Could I potentially rent from you? What purchase price are you considering. Angie from Moo-sconsin

Post an add in the timeshare giveaway forum here. That is likely your best chance of getting out of that unit without paying closing costs.
