Sticky - Give back your unwanted wyndham Timeshare - Wyndham Ovations / Wyndham Cares / Certified Exit

Future year points must be intact, but you can use up current year points. Another option is to convert points to maintenance fees immediately after the start of the use year, then call Certified Exit. It just depends if you want to plan travel or just not.

Thank you

Wyndham has been really slowing down on the take backs. From the discontinuation of Limited editions, putting all converted fixed weeks on the not accepted list and even reports of those with Pathways being told that there was a temporary hold on starting the process. The 2 next steps, I imagine, wyndham will do is not accept empty contracts back unless perhaps you are willing to pay the whole year's MF's and even possibly not accepting resale back.

Your current understanding is correct based on the current policy but there is absolutely no guarantee that will still be the way this time next week let alone 2-3 months down the line. If getting out is you priority you may want to do it sooner rather than later, because things have already changed pretty drastically in the last 6 months.

Called up Wyndham Exit and they signed us up right away for the program, no fee.
Only complication is the Maintenance fee. We had called up a few weeks ago and they guy suggested we wait till the top of the year so we would have our points and could use them to pay our maintenance fees while the program to exit was going on. We pay monthly so at the top of the year sure we had our years fees. Unfortunately they said that our points were only worth like $200 towards paying off the fees (we pay $1000 a year for the points) so we still might get stuck for some monthly fees.
They said we could use the points and then sign up for the exit program, but I didn't want to risk any complication so i just exited. We might have only had 5 months or so of fees that way, but was just happy to get out without delaying and risking something changing.
