[Q=dianek347] My father would like to deed over to me, 2 fixed weeks at Wyndham Fairfield Glade. As i understand it, in order to convert fixed weeks over to points, i would need to be a points owner first. Wyndham sales has offered to sell me 128,000 points for $19k, and then convert the two fixed weeks my father owns for about $200/week and this scenario does not make economic sense for me. However, I am seeing the same amount of points on the resale market for much less - $2,000 on this site, which might work. Would Wyndham convert fixed weeks to points if i purchase points thru resale, or do i have to buy points from them in order to do so?[/Q] My own past experience may not reflect current Wyndham practices, but I would first respectfully suggest that you NOT believe a single word uttered out of the mouths of hungry, deceitful Wyndham sales weasels. They "lie for a living" and only Westgate sales weasels are worse in the entire United States timeshare industry, in my personal opinion. In my experience, fixed weeks in Wyndham CAN be "converted" to Wyndham points (for a hefty fee, of course) WITHOUT having to first make ANY separate points purchase. Around 2006, I acquired (for next to nothing, on eBay) a fixed week in Wyndham at a FL resort. That week had already been "converted" to (182,000) Wyndham points by the previous owner (at a cost to them of about $2,500). After the transaction, I used the fixed week itself the first year, I "credit pooled" and used the 182k points elsewhere within Wyndham the following year --- and I dumped the ownership entirely (gave it away for free, actually) in the third year. Back then at least, you absolutely did NOT have to "purchase points" in order to convert an owned fixed week. It may be different today --- but I am frankly inclined to doubt it. I think that you're probably just being lied to by hungry Wyndham sales weasels who routinely and consistently lie all day long, every single day --- for a living. I would definitely seek independent and current further information and verification. You could get 128,000 Wyndham points most any day of the week in the resale market for a few hundred dollars. Paying Wyndham $19,000 to purchase 128k points would be (with no offense or disrespect intended) just about the most stupid thing I have heard in 35+ years of timeshare experience and ownership. In my opinion, there is NOTHING in Wyndham worth paying $19,000 for --- NOTHING! 128k points is not worth $1,900 (1/10th of $19,000), yet such a purchase would still create a new annual maintenance fee obligation for you. Be smart --- don't buy into any bogus story or pitch from hungry, deceitful sales weasels.
