I am a legacy owner at Wyndham Avenue Plaza in New Orleans. Fixed week, fixed unit. I got it here on TUG for free a couple years ago. We love it and plan to use it most years, including 2019. However, we might want to exchange it in the future.

When I asked RCI about adding my Avenue Plaza week to my account they said I have to talk to Wyndham about that. Has anyone done this? Can anyone help me by telling me exactly which number to call and how to ask about this?

I feel like when I start calling Wyndham about these types of things it can take hours to find the right phone number and person to do what I want. None of the 'normal' Wyndham people understand anything about legacy ownerships. I need help!

I don't think you can do that. But you should move this thread to the Wyndham forum to get better answers.

I was going to say I thought I’d seen people mention doing it in the Wyndham forum (though not specifically Avenue Plaza). I would call Avenue Plaza, not main Wyndham.

Wyndham couldn't do it
The staff at the resort couldn't do it
So I decided to try again with RCI and this time I got a totally different response. They added it right away and there was no problem at all.

I have found if you call RCI and don’t like answer call back again in couple hours and you may find the answer and help you wanted the first place. It seems like they have some very unknowledgeable peeps or just lazy.

Call the same folks you call to make your reservations... They will make a reservation and then deposit it......

These are miserable jobs that don't pay particularly well. It's hard to attract and keep good people in such circumstances.

That would explain why it took six calls to deposit one week, and they still did it wrong, but I made it work.

There was a time when I owned 14 avenue plaza weeks

I found the folks at the callcenter most knowledgeable and helpful

I just called and talked to the gal that was assigned to my account. The average tenure in that dept is over 4 years, she has been there over 6

These folks know what they are doing

The Call Center at RCI? Hmm. I must not be able to explain myself, because I've found them to be..."okay" I guess. Things often take more than one call.

No not RCI
It’s the Wyndham call center for legacy weeks, like avenue plaza. (800) 225-3522


To the op;

If for some reason the person you get dosent understand what you are trying to do, tell them I said to ask for Kate

Riverside Suites is different from Avenue Plaza Riverside suites is a fixed week resort. so you should be able to deposit your week, directly to RCI Everything at Avenue Plaza floats, so you need to make the reservation, you are going to deposit, first. Reservations are made with the help of the "special" call center, at the number I posted above. They will make the reservation and make the deposit when you call
