We just had an 8 hour 53 minute owner's update

I'm unsure why anyone would stay that long. There has to be more to this.

Sorry for your experience, but they must have made an offer that kept you there.

What were they offering??

Not only it was a waste of your time, but also a waste of theirs! I wonder what Wyndham was thinking. The opportunity lost is just too much to make business sense.
 
Which resort?

Next time bring a kitchen timer with you ... set it for the REQUIRED gifting presentation time AND then standup and TERMINATE their hostage holding of YOUR GIFT CARD.
 
Wow! The OP must have received a $1,000 dollars gift card.:shrug: Or three (3) free vacation weeks for their times. Sound like someone violated a fair labor standard law.

I hope the OP received two (2) fifteen (15) breaks and a lunch meal paid by that Wyndham timeshare salesperson.:ponder::ponder::mad::mad::mad:

To the OP, Suggestion, please post this on the Wyndham Facebook and their website.

That situation is what give timeshare a bad reputation IMHP.

That sale pitch was truly over the top.

So, what size purchase do you need to make to PIC?
 
Last edited:
The size should be the same as PIC express. Somewhere between 84,000-105,000 points. The difference has to do with what you are depositing. Your DVC would never be eligible for PIC plus. Only weeks that you can deposit into an RCI weeks account can be used for PIC plus. You have to own the week at the time you make the Wyndham purchase and the PIC contract is made for that specific week at the time of purchase.
 
I can’t imagine! Why did you stay that long?
 
Well at first they said they would PIC DVC for Express BUT nobody knew that it expired after 5 years. So then they offered 2 PIC in Plus instead.

So I pay MF to my original TS. Wyndham gets .57/1000 and $89 each to deposit. They were saying something about $2395 each PIC but that gets waived with a developer purchase.

So, short of the TS dropping out of PIC, are there any hidden surprises or fees anywhere? We PICed two 3-born with $787 MF each for 508K.

Is 98k or 105k the minimum for 2 PIC? There seems to be some confusion on this point.

When we did ours they said 105k contract per PIC contract. 2 PICs 210k contract. Ours were both 3bdr so it might be less for a 1 or 2bdr
 
Our 3BR was done with a 105K purchase and that got us to Gold this year. The 2 BR was done with more than a 105K purchase but that was to get us to the magic number for Silver. I can't believe I'm admitting to buying from the developer, but, I bought with eyes wide open and I paid cash. I slept well after both purchases just as I've done after buying resales off EBay. I don't see ever getting to Platinum unless I can buy one of those discounted Developer resales that apparently were available at some point in the past.
 
Im pretty sure id either be dead myself, or trying to clean up the crime scene if I'd been in a sales presentation that long!

No more because you decided that or because you did something so bad that you are now banned from further updates? At what point were you tired of the spiel?

You may have saved 5 couples from going through 60 - 90 minute presentations so thanks for taking one for the team.

Excellent point that sales person lost five (5) 60-90 minute sales presentation that day or is this the new norm for Wyndham?

Also, my spouse would never ever speak to me again after this.

At least at one Wyndham Destinations sales office, they can sell a developer purchase and a Wyndham pre-owned contract (aka discounted developer resales) It is referred to as piggy backing.

A interesting way to cost average contracts towards VIP status.

Wow.

Are you sure you weren't hypnotized and forced to sign a half-dozen contracts during the time your memory is 'blank?'
like @TUGBrian said; I'd have to be sedated or there would be a slaughter after about 3 hours.
It would definitely be 'justifiable homicide.'

So how much per thousand might a piggy-backed contract be?
 
Depends on the contract(s) involved, if someone is interested, ask the Wyndham Destinations sales office. I am interested in chasing a critter I do not think I can get. That is a 10,000 point old Fairfield point contract, preferably through Wyndham. They apparently are not offering the smallest of of the old contracts at this point. I was told they are going off to Club Wyndham Access.
 
If you bought from Wyndham recently with a PIC right, then call them back ask them about it. Since it so close to the purchase, if made, they may do one for you.
