wyndham points, how many, etc..best value

[uscav8r]

Thank you both. @uscav8r I assumed I would need ARP in Prime season, but for a couple more years we can travel in late Aug/Sept when the weather is still warm.
I will look for any threads on these particular resorts. One of the main reasons I am interested in the Wyndham program is for advance booking once we are restricted to school schedule.

High and Prime are two different seasons. ARP is currently needed to book Prime time at certain resorts Myrtle Beach resorts, Glacier Canyon, Newport RI resorts, to name a few). As vacationhopeful says, there may be a few that may need ARP for High time, but these are currently much more rare. Whether this changes in the future is anyone's guess.

Of course, even within Prime there is a hierarchy. Myrtle Beach in summer Prime needs ARP, other Prime maybe not so much. South Shore for Christmas needs ARP, but not so much in summer Prime.

There is a listing stating 301,000 annual Wyndham Points. There are 175,000 points at Wyndham Bay Club II and 126,000 points at Wyndham Majestic Sun. Would this contact give we ARP at both locations and the ability to combine the points to use at any Wyndham?

And another little glitch .. same use year, too....

It is all in the rules...

OK, let me make sure I understand. For Majestic Sun, 1 week for a 2 bed deluxe is 126K High season and 189K Prime. Therefore, for APR in Prime season I could only book the 1 bed suite for 112K. Is this correct?
Could I credit pool to get the 2 bed deluxe?


This is very complicated. Thanks for the help

Those are 2 OLDER resorts ... does YOUR deeds say UDI with some faction of 112/458385999 percentage of ownership --- OR does it say Week 49 Unit 123???

The first has ARP for another units assigned to the UDI covenants ... the other is a converted fixed week with ONLY ARP for that WEEK and UNIT (can NOT change the size up or down).

I will put this in list to ask the seller

No. Only Regular Use Year points can be used for ARP.

To piggyback on bnoble's post, you may credit pool to book that points-heavy room, but then you are restricted to booking at 10 months and have lost ARP for any pooled points (no matter where they originated). Cancelled points are the same way.

If you really want a 2Br at MS, here are some courses of action:

1) buy a CWA contract of size at least as big as the Prime points needed (CWA has lower MF, but these are getting hard to find), or
2) buy a single MS contract of sufficient size (may be hard to find), or
3) buy this smallish MS contract and look for another one to augment it (incur twice the closing and transfer costs).

No one has really jumped in to say whether or not you even need ARP at MS... I just looked at 4/10/16 (first day of 10 month booking today) which is High... There are plenty of options open. But your Spring Break weeks, like mid-end of March have only 1BR (no view) suites. I don't have a time machine to say whether there was 2br availability when to 10 month window opened for those weeks, unfortunately. This is where your homework (probably by direct observation) will come in.

Thank you for the options. If the seller becomes willing to give this listing away, we can pursue #3. Otherwise, we will keep looking.

Also CWA and deeded points can not be combined, correct?

They can not be combined for an ARP reservation, but they can be in the same account and at 10 months they can be used together.
