Not sure why you would wait for someone to reply here in this forum if you are interested in Ovation. Here's the Wyndham web page: https://www.myclubwyndham.com/mycw/happening/news/ovation-by-wyndham.page? Not too much there really, but it does have the phone number, +1-855-312-9040. Call it and find out if your unit will qualify for Ovation. There is absolutely NO SALES PRESSURE when you call. We made the call, explained that we wanted to use the deed-back option, and they told us that our unit qualified for Ovation. They opened a case and said that we would receive documents in the mail in a matter of days. We needed to sign them and have them notarized, then return them. Only 4 WEEKS after returning the documents, we received another letter stating that our contract cancellation had been completed. Less than 5 weeks start to finish and we were done. We did this process in May of this year (2019). Costs involved: About $10 for notary service and we had to have our 2019 maintenance fees paid in full even though we were exiting our timeshare in May/June. However, we still banked our week (fixed week timeshare). We then checked with RCI and they indicated that even without a current timeshare ownership, our banked week (and any previously banked weeks) would still remain available for us to use for exchanges. Our RCI account indicates that we still have our banked weeks available for exchange now. We got 15 years out of our timeshare but IMO, the constantly increasing maintenance fees have reduced the value of exchanges and we have found it harder to find new places that we can exchange to (that interest us) so that's why we decided to exit. We'll use up our banked weeks and call it even with Wyndham.
