Tips & Ideas
As mentioned at the start of this post, the catch with this deal is that you’ll have to attend a 2+ hour timeshare presentation during your stay in order to book one of these deals. With your time at the resort being fairly short that won’t be worth it for some, but for others this can be a great way to get a cheap getaway, especially because there are a few factors that make it more appealing than at first glance.
For starters, the redemption amounts listed above are the total costs per stay rather than a per-night cost. That means the 7,500 point resorts are effectively costing you 3,750 points per night, while the 15,000 point resorts are costing you 7,500 points per night.
It gets even better if you’re a Wyndham credit cardholder too. Seeing as you get a 10% instant discount on award redemptions, your cost will only be 3,375 or 6,750 points per night respectively.
Interestingly, the offer pages state that you can extend your trip for additional points if you’d like to stay longer. I doubt that you’d be able to extend at that low pricing; I suspect that you’d be charged the regular award redemption rate. However, having that option to add one or more nights to your stay could make this more worthwhile, especially if you’d be traveling a longer distance to get to the destination.
Another appealing aspect is that eligible properties include locations in Hawaii and St Thomas. I don’t remember seeing those included in past timeshare promotion offers – it’s usually places like Pigeon Forge, TN and Branson, MO. Being able to redeem only 13,500 or 15,000 points total for two nights in exotic locations like those islands is a great deal if you can handle the timeshare presentation.
Speaking of which, only take advantage of this offer if you’re sure that you can withstand pressure tactics from timeshare salespeople. I attended a Wyndham timeshare presentation five years ago, while Nick has done timeshare presentations more recently. We were both able to say no and walk away, but if you’d struggle to do that then the savings from this promotion won’t be worth the cost of a timeshare agreement that you sign. If in doubt, read the comments on the post of my Wyndham timeshare presentation post to see how unexpectedly expensive timeshares can become.

Some of these stays are available at these values without the timeshare requirement as an everyday rate. We booked 2 nights at the Club Legacy in Phoenix for 7500 points a night. Just as a spot check, I saw the Club Smoky Mountains is available for 15K all the time.
Edit: nevermind, I see that these time share deals are 2 nights for 7,500 or 15,000. We paid 7,500 per night without the time share. 7,500 points additional is well worth avoiding a 2 hour time share presentation!
I did this offer. I’m a Diamond member do to my Business Earner card so I inquired about no timeshare presentation and was offered the same deal with no presentation. My Diamond status gave me the deal for 27000 wyndam points.
for 2 nights in hawaii ?
No I chose St Thomas bc I was in Hawaii last year
so i call them and ask for 2 nights w/o presentation for 27k (since I am also a diamond member). am i getting it correctly?
I inquired bc Wyndam has been known in the past for canceling do to over-booking bc owners requests. When I did, the lady said yes and offered me it without presentation.
Thank you. will try my luck
You look at recent reviews of the St Thomas property? I was looking into this, but even despite the deal, was scared off by what I was reading.
I saw them. I’m not worried as I don’t plan on being there most of the time only but to sleep.
27k for how many nights? 2?
Yes
So how is the same deal? The deal in the post is 7.5k for 2 nights. You paid 27k. Not sure what it goes for but if it’s usually 15k(the middle tier) you paid the regular rate- 15k x2 -10% discount for business cardholders =27k
It’s 7500 or 15000 per night not total minus your specific level of discount when not sitting in a 2 hr presentation. I’d gladly throw away Wyndam pts for a place to sleep in St Thomas when I’ll never be there in February.
The deal in the post is 7.5k for 2 nights.
You can choose not to participate in the TS presentation deal, but you didn’t get any special deal by calling up. You paid regular price.
Yes you’re right but like I stated I’d gladly throw away 27k pts to avoid a monotonous presentation for 2 hrs plus you’re more likely to run into a cancelation if you choose the timeshare option as I saw many posts attest to happening with Wyndam. In the end I lost 12k pts bc St Thomas was gonna cost 15k
