Should I inherit my aunt’s Wyndham points? Help! Million plus points

[Braindead]

When I click on to make a reservation at owned resort on contract page under Bali it shows outrigger and club presidential reserve resort. 1,210,000. Shows up in future use. This year they only put 710,000 towards MF though. Irregardless they can’t transfer to me without losing something I’m assuming. Wouldn’t it be the same if I bought aftermarket since she only bought 210,000 off Wyndham directly . Not sure it’s worth $598 to transfer to me especially when I own 6 other timeshares but not Wyndham points

Sorry but I’m still confused where you are at on the website.
At the top of the the home page click on “My Ownership “ then go down to contracts and click on the contract.
If that’s where you are and it shows “points owned 1,210,000” Bali Hai Presidential Reserve, they spent a very large sum of $$ and it would be a shame to let that go to waste.
When you say “I click on make a reservation at owned resort on contract page” doesn’t make sense to me & I can’t tell where you are on the website

It clearly says 500,000 biennial odd and 105,000 biennial odd, reciprocal ARP, UDI On Cliff. I just don’t understand why it shows future use as so much. I think I misunderstood as the resort Bali Hai is a presidential resort. I just know somehow I got upgraded when I used her resort in Carlsbad last year. Thanks for your time and energy helping me figure this out. I really appreciate any input or ideas

Its showing exactly twice the amount. Either your just looking at the total for future use and not year by year or she deposited one year into a future year effectively doubling the amount available

If you go into the online account, My Ownership, Financial Info, and then scroll down to the PDF assessments. Look at the latest one, and there will be a column with “Total points determining HOA billing” which for me is the average points across two years (since my odds and evens are different). There is also a column with “total contract points” and for me as an owner of both biennial and annual points, it’s the number of points I get on my bigger year (in my case, odd years). If you look at those two figures, you’ll have a better idea of what the account actually comprises.

Here's a screenshot of what we are referring to if you login and click on My Ownership, you will see the current Tier status right on the splash page, which will clearly indicate the ownership type and if any VIP status exists:

I would point out, as others have, that even without VIP status the Bali Hai ownership in itself is valuable. It has one of the lowest MF's in the system. It is a worthwhile ownership for that reason alone. The amount of points gives you great choices for Wyndham vacations. The smaller contract not so much but if you can use the points maybe.

This is not mine but a copy of an account I came across some years ago. The account you have access to should show similar biennial contracts. You can see the Contract point value and that 1/2 of the fees are being billed each year.

This does not show points available in 2016, for that there there would have been another section.

Thanks. So I guess the million dollar question is should I keep 605,000 points for $151 month first biennial usage 2021 with no VIP status at these two resorts? I do have 7650 points in shell already, a deeded week at 1 bdrm London Bridge, a deeded 1 bdrm week at Peacock Suites and a deeded 2 bdrm Marriott but clear in titles. I was thinking maybe ovation would take my points back and Wyndham points may be better but trading power okay in RCI for Shell

It should be possible to do this in such a way that the VIP status is retained unless of course your cousin has already ruined the account.

 

[Debidocsr]

But at biennial 605,000 points that doesn’t qualify does it?

If I understood your first post correctly they get 605,000 points annually or 1,210,000 biannually. If the account is grandfathered at gold that is worth a great deal to you.

I looked at contract and it says 500,000and 105,000 biennial. She must have had a 500,000 point credit or something in her account which is why I got so confused and why she shows 1210,000 in future use. Doesn’t VIP start at 400,000?

Like Hitchhiker71, PAXSARAH and Basham posted earlier, if you'd print out the details from the Ownership Details screen and the 2019 MF statement, that would definitely clear up what is owned and if the account status is VIP grandfathered or not.

If you can log into the account, go to My Ownership, Ownership Details screen. Save this screen and the 2019 MF statement to PDF and post what these two things say (so there's no more guessing and speculation on the part of those trying to give useful advice).

Most veteran Wyndham owners think having a Bali Hai Villas (BHV for short) contract is worth owning because of their low MFs per 1k points. Especially if this account is grandfathered VIP Gold (500K developer annual points or 1,000K total biennial developer bought points).

Despite the fact that your aunt may have said that the BHV was resale, there was a time when those floating / fixed weeks (originally sold by Pahio) were given Wyndham developer point status when converted with a developer purchase. Some of those fixed week contract numbers started with 80 when converted to points (as you see in Basham's example of a MF statement above).

Good luck.
