We own points with Wyndham and have enjoyed using them in many different Wyndham resorts. Were you able to exchange your fixed weeks within Wyndham at all or you were "stuck" at a single resort during specific weeks unless you used an exchange company such as RCI or II? The advantage of fixed week ownership, of course, is that you are guaranteed that time and location--an advantage for hard to get locations and dates. However, that could get tiresome and your unit size needs could change as well as the dates on which you are available to travel. Would you now be able to use more than two weeks each year for yourself and family? One possibility would be to buy Wyndham points on the resale market and also keep the fixed weeks you now have. (Remember the additional maintenance fees.) If you do, be sure you understand exactly how many points you would need to secure what you expect to want in the season you would be likely to go. You would also need to start thinking in terms of making reservations as far in advance as possible when using points. On the whole, Wyndham has not offered you a bad deal if two weeks worth of points will be enough for you. With points, you would be able to break your vacations into more shorter stays, use two weeks in a row, or use them both at the same time to share vacations with family or friends. If you can go to a place you like in the off season, you would have points for more than two weeks or a larger unit. Points simply offer you many new options in how and where you vacation. MD
