Your Ownership Questions: Answered

Your Club Wyndham ownership continues to evolve and grow, and so do your benefits. You have significant flexibility in managing your points to align with your travel inspirations. It’s important to build your lifetime of memories on strong foundations.

In just a few clicks, you can watch recorded webinars, peruse articles spotlighting various resort news and updates, and even get inspired with in-depth destination guides. Explore the topics that are frequently asked about to level up your club knowledge and maximize what you own.

Enhancements:
  • Waitlist Text Option: You can now add a U.S. mobile phone number to a waitlist request to receive a match notification via SMS text message. Standard messaging rates may apply.
  • Modify Nights: You can now remove up to to three (3) nights from eligible booked reservations. Even better, modifying a reservation to remove nights and add nights can be completed in the same transaction. Not all reservations will be able to be modified to remove nights, but you will still be able to add nights. These reservation types include:

  • Fees Transparency & Updates: Club Wyndham Smuggler’s Notch, Club Wyndham Makai Club, and Club Wyndham Vino Bello resort fees have been updated with current rates. This will reflect in your search results across the web and during the booking process.

Housekeeping & VIP: Then & Now

Housekeeping credits, one of the key pieces of your reservation process, is a great place to start ensuring you’ve mastered the ins and outs when making reservations. If you’ve been with Club Wyndham for a while, you probably already know: Prior to November 2020, Housekeeping credits were unlimited across all VIP tiers. Multiple credits may have been required depending on the size of the reservation.

Housekeeping credits were required for exchanging points into RCI, completing points deposits, or when donating to the charitable gifting fund for veterans. VIP benefits were tied to the contract(s) purchased, not the membership itself. VIP tiers were, and still are, determined by the number of eligible points owned.
