How can members start the enrollment process?

If members are interested in enrolling their points without an additional purchase of Club Wyndham Plus points, then they can contact 844-956-1442.

Is there an enrollment fee, or do members have to purchase more points?

There is a $2,395 enrollment fee, which will be waived with the member’s purchase of Club Wyndham Plus points. A $189 processing fee per membership is required at the time of enrollment. Members who purchased Shell Vacations Club points within an eligible association on or after Oct. 1, 2018, will be eligible for this enrollment opportunity and will have the enrollment fee waived.

How many Club Wyndham Plus points will a member receive if they enroll their membership with Club Wyndham Plus?

Members will receive 40 Club Wyndham Plus points for every one Shell Vacations Club point. For example, if a member owns 4,000 points with Shell Vacations Club, then they will own 160,000 points with Club Wyndham Plus in addition to any other Club Wyndham Plus points purchased.

How will this impact maintenance fees and club fees for members who choose to enroll?

The maintenance fees paid to the underlying Shell Owners Association will not change. The member will no longer pay a club fee for Shell Vacations Club for as long as their timeshare interest is enrolled with Club Wyndham Plus. However, the member will be obligated to pay the Club Wyndham Plus program fee, which is based on the amount of points owned within the Club Wyndham Plus program. Any pre-paid fees will be applied to the new Club Wyndham Plus account.

If a member owns multiple timeshare interests within one club, can they enroll some of their timeshare interests in Club Wyndham?

No, if a member chooses to enroll, they must enroll their whole membership within each club. If they own at more than one home club within Shell Vacations Club (i.e. West and Hawaii memberships), then they may choose which eligible membership(s) to enroll.

What points will be enrolled into a member’s Club Wyndham Plus account?

Only allocated annual Use Year points will convert to Club Wyndham Plus points using the 40:1 conversion rate. All other points including, but not limited to, banked, shared, customer satisfaction, Bonus, or Weeks for Deposit points will not convert to Club Wyndham Plus points.

If a member chooses to enroll in Club Wyndham Plus, will they be able to keep any future Shell Vacations Club reservations?

Yes, all Shell Vacations Club reservations will remain active on the membership(s) they wish to enroll. The points used for the reservation(s) will be deducted from the member’s new Club Wyndham Plus points following enrollment. If members wish to cancel their reservation(s), they may call Owner Services.

If a member chooses to enroll in Club Wyndham Plus, will they lose access to their priority booking into their home club resorts?

After members enroll in Club Wyndham Plus, they will still be able to book their home club through their Advanced Reservation Period, which is 13-10 months prior to the arrival date.

What will happen to member’s Signature status?

The VIP by Wyndham program offers many similar benefits to the Signature program, plus much more! After the conversion, if the total amount of points a member owns falls into one of the categories below, the member will qualify for the VIP by Wyndham program. 

• Bronze: 300,000 to 499,999 points 
• Silver: 500,000 to 799,999 points 
• Gold: 800,000 to 1.099 million points 
• Platinum: 1.1 million to 1.399 million points 
• Founders: 1.4 million points+

Will timeshare interests acquired on the resale market count toward the VIP by Wyndham status?

Resale contracts are eligible for enrollment, however, they do not count toward the member’s VIP by Wyndham program status.

What will happen to any points that have already been deposited with RCI?

Like Shell Vacations Club, Club Wyndham Plus is affiliated with RCI. Any unused RCI points will be converted and transferred to the member’s new Club Wyndham Plus RCI account using the 40:1 conversion rate. If an enrolled member maintains a membership within Shell Vacations Club, the points deposited will remain in the RCI account connected with Shell Vacations Club.
