called title services again. said Wyndham had everything and documents were forwarded to title services on August 16, 2016. Said it would be 4-6 weeks from the Aug. 16 date.

He said it would be any day and that things were still moving. He thought next week things would have gone through and to call back then.

You can also call Wyndham Title and Transfer...ask them if they have received everything, what day they received the paperwork, and what day they are currently processing. That'll help you know approximately when your contract will be processed.

I called and asked what date they were reviewing contracts on. They told me that they already reviewed my contract on September 9 so now we are just waiting out the 4-6 weeks.

If I were the seller I would be livid. The seller has to continue paying MF even though it is sold, recorded, and reviewed. As the buyer I have to be concerned that the deal that I struck (all even use year points) is still valid.

Don't assume that the seller will pay all mf.

I have been billed for 1-2 months fees a month or more after closing.
The last one was early this year and they charged me for a couple of processing fees that I hadn't seen before. It's my final contract with them, so I just paid it so that my current reservations didn't get messed up.

I'm trying to stay on top of this. I had my first contract close about a month ago. I set up recurring payments for MF. I've never received one piece of mail from them but I did see that they managed to collect MF. If I hadn't been a squeaky wheel I would have no idea that my account was even set up.

I had the same thing happen to me. Eventually they should mail you a welcoming letter.

On that last mf bill that I talked about, I now recall that they said that an audit discovered that I owed mf, so they billed me and added fees. I was close to a vacation, so I just paid it. I did have them waive a fee once.

Same thing for me....i called customer service just a couple days after my account was ready (with my first purchase). They gave me all the pertinent info for me to get online, etc.

Set up auto withdrawal for MFs...those came out twice before I ever got written notification from Wyndham that I was officially an owner.

Logged onto my wyndham site and the 254k contract was added to my owner summary.

Feels like this one took a lot longer but glad its completed.

Hope this thread helps new/prospective owners on the time involved in purchasing/aquiring wyndham points.


I'm thinking that the time is soley so wyndham can charge MFs while no use can occur. That said OC and Title Services were always nice when I called.

I was surprised to see that my use year on the new contract did not get adjusted. I thought I read that wyndham was switching use years to Jan 1 on transfers.

545 - Jan 1
254 - March 1 (thought it would have changed to Jan 1.

Either Way is fine.

e.

They did change one of mine.
If you request a change, they might compensate you with points.

As you probably know, Wndham is locking out members that have canceled reservations and through no fault of their own had the point life extended by going into another use year.

If you request a change, they might compensate you with points.

Of course, then they might lock your account while they try to figure out how you have more points in your account than you're supposed to...

 

[dansyr2514]

I called and requested our use years be all the same and they adjusted for us.

 

[whitewater]

Thanks I'll call and ask on monday. I'm not planning on using the points till th end of 2017 but would make tracking/accounting for my points easier if they enter and expire at the same time.

 

[whitewater]

So I called Wyndham OC this evening to see about aligning my use years. OC rep says sure. Puts me on hold and after 5 minutes comes back and says your use years are now aligned and new points will be available Jan 1, 2018.

I realize that I would have to wait a whole year to use the points vs. Mar 1 2017 - 2018 for the 254k as the contract was sold.

I explained this to the rep and he said it was better to keep them as is. He reverted them back to a staggered.

All the time very nice and helpful.

Here is what my points summary is Points Summary:
2018 Total
Travel From Expiration Points Description Points Available
Available
Apr 1, 2017 Mar 31, 2018 Regular 254,000
Jan 1, 2018 Dec 31, 2018 Regular 545,000


Lesson learned. Ask before you go align use years. Luckily I caught and rep was able to revert back.

That would have sucked to wait an additional year to use points.....

Hope this helps the next person.

 

[bendadin]

At least they gave you the points. I bought at contract in May. Wyndham has had it for over a month. I still have no points. I'm going to dump them in RCI anyway so I'll let it slide until December.

3 of my contracts were Jan 1 anniversary. One was October. I asked them if they could align them all to Jan 1st and the did. 2016 points now expire 12/31/16 and my 2017 and 2018 points all begin on Jan 1 of that year.

Check with them to make sure they didn't give you a separate, new membership number for that one contract. Sometimes these don't end up under your existing member number. If this is the case, it is easy to merge with a phone call to the title department and a follow-up fax requesting the merge.

they both (old & new purchased) show under my current wyndham owners account so they both are linked to me.

So it sounds like the contract is there but the points are not. Chances are, then, that you bought a stripped contract in which all the current use year points were already used. Do you see 2017 or 2018 points that correspond to this new contract?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes I get points starting Apr. 1, 2017 - Mar. 31, 2018

Points used/stripped from current year yes - next year available.

The reason for that is the March points are in the 2017 year now. Wyndham's use year goes by when the points end, not begin. So anybody with a March, July or September use year are using their 2017 points now. When you use those March points coming up they will actually be your 2018 points.

Check your use year on those, if it's not January you will still have time to use them. Anybody know if Owner Care will make a reservation for Bendadin so they can use points if they expire in Dec.?
