Optics Count

This is the unedited copy off of the Club Wyndham section of ResponsibleExit.com, the website for ARDA’s Coalition for Responsible Exit. The coalition is, in their words, “...dedicated to providing useful information for owners who are looking to safely sell, change, cancel or exit their timeshare.”

If you feel that your Club Wyndham timeshare no longer meets your travel needs, Ovation by Wyndham representatives are ready to hear from you — for free. 

*The team can identify a solution based on your unique needs. 
*Ovation by Wyndham will handle the process for you from beginning to end. 
*There’s no pressure to accept an Ovation by Wyndham option. 
*There are NO additional costs or hidden fees. 

Contact a Wyndham Cares representative at 866-948-4690 to learn more about the available options. 

Now, I don’t know about you, but if I was a Wyndham owner who wanted to exit, this clearly gives me a way out. There’s no fine print. No disclaimers. No exceptions noted. Good news, right?

Wrong. At least for more than 100 long time owners of Carriage Hills and Carriage Ridge resorts in Canada who, despite having paid off their times and being current on all maintenance fees are being met with a terse “Sorry, not for you” when they call. 

I’ve received an excellent education on the entire nature from someone with extensive knowledge of this and it is indeed, complicated and a textbook example of a nightmare situation for all involved. I hope to one day bring all the details out in this blog if for nothing else than to illustrate the necessity for consumers to ask in-depth questions before purchasing any timeshare as well as staying involved in the operations and management of the resort. Timeshare is not just about paying for and going on vacation; despite how easy the salesperson makes it sound. 

But let’s return to Club Wyndham’s copy that makes it sound like all you need to do is call. They owe their owners more. Transparency is important. Optics are important. Club Wyndham-FIX THIS.
