Does anyone happen to know whether you can use the Wyndham Ovation system to turn in points that you purchased off the resale market? Does it matter if it's deeded or CWA?
It was a better deal for me to just turn them in. No fees. No closing costs. We had already used all our 2019 points, so no one wants a free deed with no use year points. This way we didn't have to pay main. fees all year in order to give it away next year.Why not post the timeshare here for free.
That is terrific, and much appreciated, advice! Thank you!If you are considering Ovation, here is a tip:
We knew we were going this route, so we used all our 2019 points up in 2018. That gave us some extra vacation time before we unloaded our contracts. So, when we got to January 2019, I contacted Wyndham and started the Ovation process. I ended up paying MFs for January and February, but that is it. They will take a contract back with no current use year points available. They will not take a contract back with any future use year points already used. So, if you plan ahead, you can use the points up for the year before you give up the contract.
NOTE: All travel must be completed before you start the process.
Did you use the 2019 points in 2018 by borrowing them from one use year into another? Or by some other method?If you are considering Ovation, here is a tip:

I've been looking on the Wyndham site for info on what this window is, but I can't find it. Does anyone have their official language? For a contract with Jan 1-Dec 31 use year? And this might affect things: we have a biannual odd.Yes. We made reservations in 2018 in the window where we were able to use 2019 points for the reservations.

Thanks very much! "Express" window--man, it really is an entire vocab lesson!Search on the website for borrowing points. It can be done within 90 days of check-in. With only a biennial odd, you would be able to borrow points in the even years inside that 90 day window.
