Do a lot of people have points expiring end of september or December? I expect a lot of competition for reservations.

I would bet there would be quite a few at december since any converted fixed week is always Jan - Dec. I would get your reservations now if they are available.

Pic points answer

Our Pic points are always one year from the date the PIC points hit our account. We have 10 months from the check in date of our interval to decide to PIC it and then per the directory pg 299 (yes, I pulled it out and read it), we have one year from the date the points HIT our account, which is usually several weeks later. This is based on the exact date and not rounded to the nearest month end. So we have seen some pretty weird use year's in our account. In one of our cases, the week is a December Ski week, we usually PIC it in Feb, the point are usually in our acct by early March. We have one PIC unit that is a floating 1-52. So I suppose, if we wanted to, we can finagle a different use year based on that. But I think in the end, Wyndham is going to align this similiar to point pooling where the cancelled points end up in the earliest years.

I do see people's arguements and reasons for having the various use years. I think that if you win the battle, what will happen is that instead of the cancelled points rolling forward, they will roll back into the earliest use year.

I think that instead of just changing everyone's use year automatically to calendar year, they should have allowed each account owner to select their preferred use year and then move the other contracts accordingly. This would have been more owner friendly.

Here's your answer about what Wyndham will do with the Pic points.
I am not sure if the dates below apply to just me, or if others will get a similar letter after they PIC their week. I just recently PIC'd mine in the last 2-4 weeks.

RE: PIC Use Year Changes


Dear Valued CLUB WYNDHAM Owner:

We are pleased to inform you of an upcoming change to your CLUB WYNDHAM® Plus membership that will simplify your usage and allow us to better serve you.

As you may know, all contracts in the CLUB WYNDHAM Plus programs have one of four “Use Yearsâ€:

· Jan. 1 to Dec. 31
· April 1 to March 31
· July 1 to June 30
· Oct. 1 to Sept. 30

In an effort to simplify your vacation planning experience, as of August, 8, 2013, you will now have the option to deposit your Personal Interval Choice (PIC) Plus points into either your current Use Year or your next Use Year when you call to make your PIC deposit, giving you just one date to remember for using all of your points. Please note this change will apply to future deposits only.

If you have any questions related to this matter, please call a vacation guide at 1-800-251-8736.
We look forward to assisting you with all of your vacation needs and appreciate the opportunity to be of service.

Sincerely,

CLUB WYNDHAM Plus"

Italics added. My account was working just fine.
Don't know that any changes Wyndham makes is ever to better serve me.
