Thinking about buying a resale at South Shore, with points allocated every odd year. 2017 points available, allocated to the current owner on Jan. 1. However, with the closing that may take up to 120 days, we may not have access to the point until Oct. So the question is, with a use date of Jan. 1, how much time will we have to book vacations for 2017 and 2018? Is it 13 months and 10 months from Jan. 1?

It is the calendar year of 2017, so you may only have a month or two at best to book and USE your points. Your only other option would be to deposit the points to RCI. It would be too late for you to use the internal points deposit feature to move them to another year.

I would NOT bet that if you are a totally NEW Wyndham points owner (no prior points in a Wyndham member number) ... that you will get a RCI exchange account in time to deposit the points.

Best plan to USE them or gift them to a friend or family member at the VERY LAST minute.

South Shore is a great property if you can get it resale. Very low maintenance fees. As to using this year's points you will be very lucky to get them transferred in time. You CAN get and RCI account set up in a few days but only if you call Owner Care as soon as you have online access to your account. Chances of using them in the Wyndham system are very thin. Make sure you do not get stuck with paying 2017 MF's.

Thanks for the information. We decided to pass on the South Shore one. Didn't make sense to pay for something that you really couldn't use for a year.

Not sure. I saw it on the sellmytimeshares now website. It might still be there. Here is the contact information of the person I was working with.
