I have a friend that offered to give me her Bonnet Creek odd year contract if I paid the transfer and closing costs. It was pure coincidence she knew I owned Wyndham. She is a former co-worker that mentioned in chit chat at the coffee pot that she was going to Bonnet Creek, this was years ago. She contacted me a few months ago asking if I wanted it. She just wanted to be done with the maintenance fees - she wanted out as fast as possible. I think it was 168K every other year. I pointed her to Ovation. It made more sense to be free of it, rather than try to sell it, taking months closing, IMO. I felt guilty not having her post it here on TUG, but it seemed so much easier to give it back and be done with it.

Maybe I am naive, but I figure there are people that would rather get a couple bucks selling through an exit company rather than give their deed back to Wyndham. Not the case for my friend. But if none of my heirs want our account, I expect it to be the case for me, for some of our contracts, some day. I also expect to give a few back to Wyndham, if Ovations is still around. I sure don't plan to pay anyone to take it off my hands :)

I advertised 2 contracts to give away. One was on the inexpensive end for maintenance. The other was average. No one wanted the average one, so Ovations it was. The other took longer for the transfer, so I had to pay the MF in the meantime, so it ended up costing me more than the Ovations one in the long run. I don't regret it because a person is hopefully enjoying the points as opposed to Wyndham selling them, but Ovations works in many cases.

Unfortunately Many don't know about ovations they will pay 3k-4k to have a exit company take it off their hands. I have bought many deeds from these companies or a third party at less then closing and resort transfer fees. I tried to give some deeds back to Wyndham thru Ovations this year but they wouldn't take them. I was told I needed to own them for 1 year. Listed them on tug and sold them to a preferred Wyndham broker who paid me $$$. The third party buyer was Wyndham. Deeds recorded at 8 am were transferred and recorded 2-3 hours latter to Wyndham. Still smh but it worked out good for me.

Your comment is foolish and ignorant. Dont read my posts or put me back on ignore. That was a purchase from last year 2/2018 if you knew anything about trading deeds price is higher after January and always lower from Oct-Dec.
Your a troll. Put me back on ignore if you dont like my posts!
More troll like behavior.
Oh what’s wrong did the FACTS catch you with your pants down.
Try posting informative facts instead of made up crap post & false claims

I own have over 5,000,000 points with MFs under $6 per 1k points, please post a Fact on how it would be cheaper for me to rent from a VIP at $6 per 1k points.

Your the type of owner I rent from. If you Bought more pounts then you can use and rent for less then it costs for maintenance fees in box me.

You pay $30k a year for Wyndham 5 million pts? Do you live in your TS full-time? Just curious.

I have 192k pts with MF at $6.3/1k pts, all $1 resale, with sellers covering 75% closing and transfer costs. wife is still mad at me. She forgives me when we are on our vacations.

We travel often but do not live in TS.
I’ve never rented to a stranger.
We use a lot of points, the rest are used by family & friends.

Nice of you to be generous to your family and friends. I let family stay in two of my TS for free. I honestly enjoy seeing them.

Your saying you paid a dollar and seller paid $375 of the closing. So the total cost $126?
Not a bad deal . Until you factor in you can rent from a VIP for less the maintenance fees.

I don’t disagree. Maybe it’s just my head or ego. Even though there’s an exit strategy, I just like owning versus renting.

I agree I also own but rent when it is cheaper to.

I'm not greedy.

I sell for nothing, or less than nothing, and rent out for less than the maintenance fee. I have been successful at this so far, but it takes a lot of work.

:cool:
I like your strategy.

I see you’re from OH. Now that Apple Valley closed, what local TS resorts do you go to? I have an EY DRI South Bend Red float TS.

Why would any VIP rent for less than their MFs? Most everyone I am aware of rents between $6-8/1000 points wholesale, retail at higher prices for higher demand times and locations.

This was an interesting thread about post card companies while it lasted. Like threads years ago that regularly got hijacked by renters boasting about their rental businesses, Wyndham threads now get hijacked by a poster(s) with their own, individual agenda that has nothing to do with anything.

You need to get up-to-date. "Renting for less than maintenance fees" was a (big) thing before April, 2017 when automatic upgrades were introduced.

Now, "Renting for less than maintenance fees" depends on what is/becomes available within 60 days. Just ask the megarenters that are still in business.

There is only one 4 BR Presidential at my home resort. I cannot rent it from anyone at any price and neither can anyone else, because I book it using my points at 13 months and hold onto it for my personal use.

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I assume your all responding to someone I blocked months ago.

Yes (presumably). You are not missing anything.

I disagree. The fight between braindead and dgalati was pretty entertaining. They both seem like genuine dudes though.

If your not a vip and rent in the 60 day window with the 50% discount given. That is 50% less then what it would cost a non vip owner in maintenance fees. $6 x 154,000 or $6 x 77,000.
