Avenue Plaza is a neat resort with its own set of rules..I dont own at a lot of resorts, so I cant say so for sure , but I think this place is unique in a lot of ways
Your first job is to make sure your deed is recorded (you should have a copy with the Orleans Parish sticker on it, You or your seller or the closing company you hired should have sent this off to the clerk office, with two checks, one for the Notarial Archives, and one for Conveyance Division..If you did it wrong or sent the wrong amount of money they will return it. Assuming it is recorded one of you should have sent a copy to Wyndham with a request to change their records..If you didnt send the $299 fee they wont do anything.
I assume this stuff was done because you got a bill..You should have an owner number on that bill
There are several timeshare systems operating out of Avenue Plaza...Worldmark has about 60 units, Wyndham points has several units (some are I thing unsold developer owned units that Wyndham got when they took over, and some the result of weeks owners that did a conversion to points) But the bulk of the units there are what I own and I assume you own ie floating weeks. There are also leased weeks, with an expiration date
How much was you maintenance fee bill , it it was $501 its a studio , if its $644 a one bedroom...if its neither of these ignoe my post...I dont know what you have.
If Im right your week is a deeded week and floats over 47 weeks (1-7 and 10-16 and 19-51) ..The black out weeks are Mardi Gras, the week before Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and the Sugar Bowl. You will never get one of these event weeks with what you own, unless you are deeded, 8 or 9 or 16 or 17 or 52 (if you own Wyndham points, however, you have (except for Mardi Gras, a good chance for these
Call 800-225-3522 (option 2) they are open 7am-7pm central time, Monday -Friday.. Thats the reservation desk for Wyndham Weeks..The folks there will be able to tell you that they have your account in the system and be able to make a reservation for you, If you havent yet paid, they can take your payment too..These are nice folks eager to help, so I dont think you will have a problem ...but just in case, tell them I suggested you call. Unless they just hired someone new, they all know me. Ive made 25 reservation this year so far. They may think Im a pain in the neck but they have never failed to help me and my guests
Because this is a floating weeks resort it is possible that some owners if they wait too long to make a reservation will get shut out and get nothing...Thats not Wyndhams fault or Avenue Plazas fault, thats the nature of floating weeks. At Avenue Plaza , however the chances of getting shut out are greater than might be expected because they allow split weeks, check in any day, and a right to use week (for an extra mf paid)
with one week owned you can get 4 reservations... Its possible for example with your one week to have 4 units at the same time over a long weekend..You could host a party for 16 people for a Saints Game and walk to the Superdome. Or you could have a unit for The Essence Fest , Voodoo Fest, Thanksgiving and New Years, all with one week owned
To get maximum use of what you own you have to understand the rules. Send me a PM with your email address and Ill send you a copy
The secret here and at other floating weeks resorts is to pay your mf and reserve early
