Re: Wyndham's new "Ovation" program offers exit solutions for their owners... interested? (by Brian B.):
I applied to the Wyndham Ovation program online about 5 weeks ago for our Fairfield Glade timeshare. They responded by email within a few days and advised that our unit was eligible and that they would be contacting us to pursue it further. That was July 29th and here is a portion of their response.
"Thank you for your interest in Ovation by Wyndham. We are pleased to inform you that you are eligible for this program, which will provide you the opportunity to transfer your ownership back to Wyndham and relieve you of future maintenance fees and assessments. Participation in Ovation by Wyndham does not require an additional purchase or fee.
You will be contacted by an Ovation by Wyndham Case Specialist by phone to discuss options available to you as well as answer any other questions you may have. Due to the popularity of this program, please allow up to 14 calendar days for follow up contact."
It is now almost 30 days and I haven't heard from them so I will be calling them this week to see where we go from here.
We bought this unit on eBay at a good price and are willing to deed it back with no money coming our way, only the relief of no more maintenance fees. Our Cdn $ is now at 75 cents US and the FG Maintenance Fees are steep as compared to our other timeshares. They have so many units there that we could still go there for a third the cost of our maintenance fees as we own a 2 bedroom but only require a 1 bedroom.
Hopefully this transaction goes through smoothly. I commend Wyndham for their initiative, hopefully both parties win. I will keep everyone posted.
