My wife and I own 2 timeshares through Wyndham. The first a fixed week at Shawnee in the Pocono's (We live just an hour away) When we went to an owners meeting a few years ago and voiced our frustration, we stupidly bought another for ($20,000) because they talked us into the whole points program. A program in which they said you can now stay at any of our resorts anytime you want. Only to find out since that time, we can't even get a week in our home resort months in advance.(We drive up there and the place is a ghost town, and they say nothing is available) Now my wife is sidelined with Lyme's Disease, a disease in which the insurance companies refuse to classify as a disease, even tough there are some days she can't even get out of bed the pain is so intense. And ALL treatment is $$ out of pocket. And I have been in chronic renal failure for 5 years and am awaiting a transplant. So we are no longer able to travel even if we wanted to. Yet we still have astronomical maintenance fees that need to get paid. Maintenance fees that are not being used on our fixed week unit that is for sure. But they do have beautiful new units going in. It almost seems this Ovations program id too good to be true. Just like everything else Wyndham has told us over the last 20+ years .
