Re: Are they worth it? (by Mary D.):
A Wyndham contract is based on a specific resort and specific space, even though you can use the points anywhere in the Wyndham resorts system. Because costs of building and amenities included at the resort you buy, however, there can be differences in annual maintenance fees among Wyndham resorts and, in some cases, among older and newer buildings in the same resort. In which resort is the contract you are considering based? A call to it's management might clarify what the Group letter means. Inquire about the maintenance fees associated with that group and how it compares with others there.
We own with Wyndham at Glacier Canyon in Wisconsin Dells and at Panama City Beach. Our MF is much higher at Glacier because it has indoor and outdoor water parks which require upkeep. However, it is close enough to us for family day use or short visits, so it is worthwhile. We have never actually visited the other resort, but its MF is low and we use the associated points elsewhere in the system. It balances out.
WHAT! I just noticed that you speak of 105,000 points for 14 units. No way! Maybe 105,000,000 points?? That would be Platinum ownership if Wyndham recognized resale points toward VIP levels. ASK Wyndham! You would probably need to buy some developer points directly from Wyndham to bring your points into the VIP system (if it is possible at all). We are Platinum with 108,000,000 points and it does indeed have its advantages.
Based on Williamsburg, 105,000 points would get you a 1 bedroom unit in Prime time or at 2 bedroom deluxe in Value time each year.
For 105K, you could have an Undivided Interest in the building which contains all the units you mention as being in your contract, but you would not have 14 units for 105 thousand points. Was that your understanding? MD
