What happens to already booked holiday if TS is sold

[jenjen6]

I have a holiday booked for March next year, through RCI, using points I have transferred from Wyndham to RCI. What would be the position if I was to sell my Wyndham TS before the holiday? Would it cancel my RCI membership and result in the points being unusable? The points have expired as far as Wyndham is concerned so would not be part of a sale.

What year did you use? If you used a current year or a time that you did own for the exchange,It will still be honored. I did this with an exchange for next summer. I used my 2015 week which I paid Maintenence fee, RCI membership fee and exchange fee. I have the exchange confirmation in writing, so even though I will no longer own the resort I am exchanging, I did own it when I exchanged it. Hope this helps!

It will likely be different for the OP though, since they are using the RCI account that Wyndham provides for them. Once they sell their Wyndham contract and no longer have a Wyndham ownership, they will no longer have that RCI account.

Perhaps getting a guest certificate before the account is closed should solve the problem.

This is something you should communicate to the buyer and agree upon. In writing.

We bought one week where the seller had already deposited a reservation for exchange and planned to use it even though it was after the date of sale. Because she communicated that with me it was part of our agreement, I didn't do anything to deprive her of that vacation (although as the legal owner I could have - and then she could have sued me because we'd agreed upon it already and so on... but none of that happened because we'd agreed earlier that she could use that year's week). I paid extra to rent that year from someone else.

Then I bought another week and the owners had already scheduled that week to be rented out and had planned to collect the money from that. But they hadn't communicated any of that to me and it was NOT part of the sale. I was irate because I expected to use the week that year but it had already been booked by someone and rented out through the resort. I demanded an alternate week and got it. The resort got the rental money and the seller got nothing beyond what our sales agreement specified.

The points were issued 2014 by Wyndham and transferred to RCI in October of that year so they would stay alive until October 2016. The holiday booking I have made with RCI has been confirmed and I've paid all fees. Since posting my thread I have emailed RCI (I think in Singapore) and am waiting on a reply. I am also trying to find contact details for the right section within Wyndham. I made several unsuccessful phone calls today trying to find out who I needed to talk to. It doesn't help that America is sleeping when I'm awake and vice versa.

I think you should ask these posts to be moved to the Wyndham board. I see this question asked periodically and those with experience can chime in and may not see it here. Having a paper confirmation doesn't mean anything if your RCI account is canceled and in general once you are no longer an owner of any Wyndham points your RCI account is closed. I don't know if the work around would be opening up a personal RCI account at the time the other one is cancelled and then transferring the confirmed reservation or what.

I have just had a phone call from RCI in Singapore, replying to my email and enquiry. He has confirmed your thoughts. My account with RCI would close with the sale and my holiday would be a non event.
