Many Wyndham owners have contacted the company about its new buy-back/give-back program, and that's good. The bad news is that the program only seems to work for people who own timeshares in properties that Wyndham actively wants back so they can reuse and resell the inventory all over again. That means, prime destinations that are always popular for travelers. If you own timeshares in Branson, where there are tons of timeshares for sale, Wyndham may not offer you a dollar for your property, but they will take it back for nothing. Buying MORE points to get out of a timeshare is nonsense. My advice, as an owner, is when you're done with a timeshare, try to sell it on RedWeek or through a realtor of your choice. If that does not work, contact your company and see what they will do. At worst, signing the deed back to Wyndham may be better than paying another dollar for a timeshare you cannot use or do not want to use. People who cling to notions that their timeshares are worth MORE than what they are selling for on RedWeek.com, or through a legit broker, are bound to be disappointed. In any case, keep relaying your stories to RedWeek.com so when we next contact Wyndham about this program, we'll have your inputs.
