Wyndham's new "Ovation" program offers exit solutions for their owners... interested? (by Robert B.):
I recently met with Wyndham sales reps who wanted to show me how the Ovation program could, if I was qualified, enable me to give back a Wyndham contract I had purchased, many years ago, on the resale market. Their sales pitch was "If you can take the maintenance dollars currently being paid on the resale and apply it toward additional points wouldn't you be better off?" This also included trying to move some of my platinum Wyndham points to a resort with lower maintenance fees per thousand to save more maintenance dollars hoping to make the deal look attractive. When they ran their numbers I had to show them that two proposals they put on the table were show stoppers due to the fact that the maintenance fee savings where negated by the fact that their least expensive proposal would be costing me an additional $170.00 a month over what I am currently paying. I got what I wanted for the 75 or so minute i gave them - significantly discounted theme park tickets.
