Wyndham's new "Ovation" program offers exit solutions for their owners... interested? (by Kent K.):
We are resale owners at wyndham Saphire valley resort in N.C. When we went to the Wyndham food and wine annual meeting at Hilton Bonnett creek (near Wyndham Bonnet Creek) in 2015 we found out about the Ovation Program. We had pooled our EOY points earlier in dec.2014 so we started using all of those points along with our 2015 point and did an amazing lot of traveling in 2015. In October 2015 we contacted Ovation and started the process with 3 of our contracts and we were fininshed with those maintaince fees by Jan,2016. we uses ou 2016 points to go to new Orleans in feb. Branson and Fairfield Bay in Apr,. Oncean Walk in May. and ended with GoePremier in Canada (near Montreal) in Sep. Then we contacted ovation again and we we out by Dec.2016. We weren't offered the 3 year use like some people were but as resale owners we never expected too. We felt like after CLUB PASS program excluded the resalers we better act fast before Wyndham excluded us from Ovation.. Wyndham did let us stay in some really nice resorts that I would not have paid $200 per night like the rack rate was, so all in all we used our points like money without paying the developer what most owners paid. We will use other means to vacation and are out from under the Maintance Fee Trap!
