Can you trust anything a salesperson says?

Nope. It’s when their stories start to line up with others, about changes, that it generates buzz. Sure they share the same sales schemes but this is something we knew would eventually happen. I’ve also heard this from multiple sources, who said their VP told them there were changes. These sources were not in a sales presentation, nor did they try selling me anything. Of course, It could all be a hoax. If it was, it would be one of the more impressive ones, because they have so many sales people at different offices, giving the same information. New tiers, name changes, etc.

Because of all this hype and curiosity I expect those who read TUG and generally refuse to attend owners updates will be flocking to the meeting. Maybe this was Wyndham's plan all along?

Maybe some fraction? And maybe that’s good enough for Wyndham. But it still doesn’t have any bearing on me - I don’t consider silver benefits worth a retail purchase, so I certainly won’t find the lighter emerald benefits worth it, either. And we certainly don’t need the number of points associated with the current gold level at this point in our lives. So the only reason I’ll go to a sales presentation is if I’m truly bored and value the gift over my time (which in nine years hasn’t happened yet).

Another page was posted in the Facebook groups. I noticed the date on the top of the page say May XX, 2019, yet in the message, it gives more specific dates.

I’m not sure about that. Anyone who’s been reading TUG long enough, knows that a sales meeting (aka Owner update) is not the place to get truthful answers.

Wonder how they are going to reconcile May XX (in the header) with May 1 in the text. The header date will have to be May 1 or they will have to change the date in the text.

According to that most recent memo picture, tomorrow will tell the tale. That memo aligns perfectly with what my internal contact indicated to me weeks back now. Let’s see what happens tomorrow!

Sadly no. I would have definitely posted it here. I’m posting these as I find them on the Facebook posts. Maybe we’ll know more tomorrow.

I apologize for not posting these earlier, I truly thought that they were already 'out there'.

Thanks for posting these, good info. I would note the words "evolving benefits" with regard to changes to VIP benefits, along with "further updates" as we get closer to an actual announcement. In other words, this can all still change.

Same. Their sales hub website isn’t loading correctly. The VIP information remains the same despite being labeled as “New”.

Never heard of the sales hub website. And, no emails from Wyndham in my mailbox.

It’s where the sales people get a lot of the brochures they give out at meetings, or display in presentations. Not sure why it’s wide open to the public, but I recognize some of the material from previous updates.

I thought this Brochure was old, but I noticed the mid-week clean and tidy was removed from the Gold benefit. Plus the date is 5/19 2019 in the lower right hand corner of the last page.

The date of the Privileges brochure is also 5/19/19. Maybe that’s when they will announce?

How are the Wyndham owners who are blacklisted from owner presentations going to be able to purchase to upgrade if they are blacklisted from further purchases? Not that any would purchase more points, but what if some wanted to obtain a VIP level or a higher VIP level?

I’ve heard of people getting removed from the “Do not sell” list, but I am not the circumstances behind it. Whether it was an error on Wyndham’s part that they were on the list, or they decided to remove them from the list because there was no reason to leave them on it. I would imagine a determine slick sales person could find a way to get someone off of it for the right price.

They always can buy from corporate telesales. The list is called DNG - as in Do Not Gift (for attending a presentation). Not ... do not sell ... which I think is something else

5th question on page 2 regarding Presidential Reserve owners.
PR owners with less than 1,400,000 points will automatically be enrolled in the Titanium Privilege tier.
Now that’s Elite Ownership status!!!

Hey, BD.

As another PR owner, I agree with you that PR has certain features that work well for me (and likely you). However, don't try to convince other owners that it does have value. If more owners become PR owners, it will minimize the availability of certain units for you and me!

While this post is clearly "tongue in cheek," there is some merit to my assertion. PR is possibly the least understood level/status in the Wyndham ownership spectrum.
