Sure. Times and family circumstances have changed for a lot of timeshare owners. As of this date, per my phone call to Wyndham a few minutes ago, the Ovation program is open with two options: (1) straight deed-back, and (2) deed-back with travel. Your property/ properties must be participating in this program, and your deed/deeds must be paid in full. Further, when you call to ask to participate, your account must be free of any upcoming reservations. If you have unused points in your account you will simply leave them on the table; there may be no open reservations on your account when you wish to participate. If program requirements are satisfied, Wyndham sends forms for completion and to be notarized. You return them to Wyndham and at the end of 6-8 weeks or so, according to the person with whom I spoke, it's all done. If you are in the deed-back with travel, instructions would be provided at that time for using Club Wyndham properties only -- not RCI, not affiliates, not WorldMark. There are no fees. The program may change or close at any moment. On balance, this seems pretty straightforward and reasonable.
