Wyndham Maintenance fees should they be paid if you're not able to book reservations?

If Wyndham shuts resorts and and stops taking reservations will they also give owners a rebate on maintenance fees? What is the fair thing to do? I have my opinion they should but I am interested in what others have to say. Also will they extend current use year points if they extend not taking reservations past 4/18?
 
That's like saying you shouldn't pay maintenance fees if the resort you want to book a reservation at has no availability during the timeframe you want to travel. The answer is, pay your maintenance fees. If you don't other owners will be forced to pay them for you.

Carry it forward to 2021 and stop complaining. I cancelled a million points two days ago and have them all on new reservations except for 50,250.

Edit: Booked the 50,250 and had to borrow 15,000 from 2021.

The fair thing to do also happens to be the required thing -- pay the maintenance fees. Nobody guaranteed you exactly what you want. I don't think you're getting a lot of sympathy on this one.

It seems that you're attempting to insinuate that you pay maintenance fees in that range but from what you've posted your maintenance fees are either non existent or minimal by comparison.

If by some remote chance you don't already know this then I will explain. All of the maintenance fees with the exception of the program fees go to the resorts to cover the operating expenses. Our resorts still have expenses whether or not they are open during this time. However those expenses should be lower with the resorts that are closed. Hopefully some of us can expect to see a reduction in our 2021 maintenance fees as a result of the closings.
 
Hmmm, I'm often not able to trade back into my home resort (which is an independent). Does this mean I shouldn't pay maintenance fees for those years? :rolleyes:
 
If a resort is not usable because of storm damage, the mf still has to be paid and possibly an assessment.

If your house is not livable, the expenses still need to be paid.
 
No sympathy from me on this.

Wyndham, even with the changes to the programme, is still an extremely flexible system.

If you can not use your points, push them forward to future use years. For an annual use year with no VIP standing do so by March 31st. Why would you ever expect a rebate on MF, the running expenses continue coronus virus or not.

Thats great if this stops April 18th. What happens if this carries on until late fall? Just grin and bear it?

Just asking. If all resorts are closed and no reservations can be booked why pay for something that you cant use?

No actually I don't pay any maintenance fees at the moment. I don't like the commitment. Very slim chance maintenance fees are lowered by this event. Just asking for opinnions on what Would be fair if this continues on thru summer and into fall.

No skin in the game but that sure didn’t stop your negativity. So why start this thread when it has ZERO impact on you!!

Looking for input. What can Wyndham can do to lessen the impact on owners. Especially the ones still paying for developer purchases along side the maintenance fees.

If no reservations are being taken why have to pay maintenance fees for a product that is not available. Why did Wyndam adjust and give back points on vacations that didn't have points protection? It was the right thing to do most said!

Are You the same guy that recieved points back on a cancelled reservation with no points protection?

I’d say Wyndham did right by the owners. Tell me how Wyndham screwed the owners on this one. EH doesn’t have the reservations either!lol

It was the right thing to do and I applaud Wyndham for doing it.

If your house burns down do you keep making the house payments and property taxes? You bet you do. You just hope your insurance covers the cost of the house. But you'll still be paying the property taxes.

On just the property and not the vslue of house that burnt down. Now if I rebuild a identicle new house it will be taxed at a much higher rate. Thank you for you thoughts and input also.

Didn’t sound like it in your previous post. Like the other thread & my previous post here, nonsense & I’m done.

PS. I do pay over $3k a month in MFs & this thread is still NONSENSE
 
Results are in. Many owners feel its ok to pay maintenance fees even if all resorts are closed and no reservations are being taken.
