If you get an answer, please post the specifics so others will know. It is important to know these specifics before making a retail purchase.
Of course I will be happy to pass on any information that I find out. I like your reasoning: “It is important to know these specifics before making a retail purchase.”
I did write TPI directly and (as above) they wanted to know my account number so as to tell me what the PA (Premier Access) program benefits are for me. I did not have the TPI account number from Wyndham yet as the paperwork had not gone through completely, so it was impossible to determine what we really had, as “promised:” by the salesperson, as opposed to what is published on the TPI website – which is clearly different than the salesperson said. It is clear from the contract paragraph below and the additional information in the complete 60-page Disclosure Statement by Hawaii Wyndham, that the PA program is, indeed, different from what the salesperson said and that verbal sales pitches about the Maintenance Fee Reimbursement Program from TPI are very different from reality.
Because the salespeople are telling ALL prospective Wyn buyers the same things about the TPI PA program benefits, it does not make sense for TPI to require our contract details to verify the salespeople’s statements, especially since they specifically say they are not bound by any Wyn salespeople’s “promises.” (Of course they aren’t – but what are the facts?? --- UNKNOWN.)
FYI:
Our Hawaii points purchase contract reads as follows:
“ The Seller and The Association have entered into a contact (Exchange Contract) with Trading Places International (TPI) . The contract provides that TPI will make its Premier Access exchange program available to owners in this plan. For a description of the Premier Access exchange program, please consult the exchange directory and related materials published by TPI.”
The additional 60-page Disclosure Statement document published by Fairfield Hawaii at Kona Hawaiian Resort that says “READ THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT BEFORE SIGHING ANYTHING” (which we received after signing) states, in addition to the previous paragraph in our contract, as follows:
“TPI cannot makes promises for or representations about the Developer. Likewise, the Developer cannot make promises for TPI or representations about TPI or its exchange program. TPI is only responsible for the representations contained in the written materials supplied by it and that the salespeople provided to you. The Developer is not responsible for any promises that TPI makes. Likewise, TPI is not responsible for the Developer [promises].”

Love the remark: “ .. A Mixture of fact and fiction….” Hmmmm, sounds familiar about a sales presentation.
Because we are unable to find out about the “details” even from TPI without a WYN TPI contract, I certainly cannot plan to use the PA benefits as stated by the salesperson since, apparently they do not exist. At any rate, I can’t find them out so I will just take what TPI‘s printed PA benefit list is as stated on their Website, which is not what we need at this point.
