Wyndham

Wyndham is an absolute giant in the vacation ownership industry. With revenues over $3.8 billion and a market value of over $5 billion, Wyndham is a force to be reckoned with. As a subsidiary of the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, Wyndham Vacation Ownership is the largest vacation ownership program in the world. Wyndham Vacation Resorts comprises 140 properties, 20,000 ownership units and locations in North America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. Wyndham touts a timeshare owner customer base of over 800,000 families. Wyndham also owns the #1 timeshare exchange company in the world, RCI.

As owner of RCI, the world’s largest and leading timeshare exchange company as well as the owner of Fairfield Resorts, one of the leading resort developers and owners in the world they quickly grew their vacation business to be far reaching and offer many products to their customers. This brings about many cross selling opportunities for Wyndham driving revenues into the billions of dollars and makes them the envy of many travel companies.

Wyndham Resorts & Timeshares
Timeshare and Vacation Owners of Wyndham Vacation Ownership program are able to not only use their resort at their home resort location but trade for any Wyndham owned resort in the club. And since Wyndham owns RCI, the timeshare exchange company, members have many more timeshare exchange opportunities.

Fairfield Resorts
Fairfield resorts is one of the largest timeshare resort companies in the world. When they were acquired by Wyndham, many industry professionals as well as timeshare owners grumbled at putting the supposedly “independent” timeshare exchange network next to the largest group of resorts made many people feel uneasy. They felt this would give Wyndham unfair advantage in the timeshare world. Investors of WYN thought this unfair advantage made good business sense.

Since the acquisition of RCI, many owners and industry professionals have stated privately and publicly that the service level at RCI has gone downhill. Many timeshare resorts cried out that Fairfield resorts were getting preferential money and treatment from RCI. Many owners said owners of Fairfield properties were getting special treatment. RCI was viewed as impartial before the acquisition making vacations happen for millions of people through timeshare exchange. But now with Fairfield part of the Wyndham Company, many said it was too close for comfort. This led to the RCI Class Action Lawsuit and later the RCI Class Action Settlement in the US. There is also one pending in Europe that will be getting going in 2011.

Wyndham offers many types of vacation ownership options so that you are able to find the perfect one to meet your unique needs.
