Your points become available on the same date every year or every other year, and you have 12 months to use them before they expire. This 12-month time frame is called your Use Year. Important Information %u2022 There are 4 Use Years in Club Wyndham based on calendar quarters (January 1 to December 31, April 1 to March 31, July 1 to June 30, October 1 to September 30). %u2022 All memberships will be assigned only 1 Use Year. %u2022 Members with a biennial ownership interest receive an allotment of points every other year. Their 12-month Use Year is January 1 to December 31.%u2022 As you make your reservations, points will be deducted from the Use Year in which your vacation occurs. %u2022 Any points remaining in your account at the end of your Use Year will expire. %u2022 Bonus points are awarded on a one-time basis, and have up to a 24-month usage period.Making Your ReservationsSeasons Seasons are determined by a resort%u2019s peak travel times throughout the year. There are 4 seasons in Club Wyndham %u2014 Prime, High, Value, and Quiet %u2014 with Prime season being the most popular time to travel to a particular location. The more popular the season, the more points you%u2019ll need to book that resort during that time. When you choose to travel during Value and Quiet seasons, you can maximize the value of your points by traveling when availability is greatest and point costs are low. Normalized Calendar For ease of use and to help you determine when you can take advantage of the many benefits available to you, Club Wyndham benefit and reservation windows are based on a normalized calendar, which means booking windows are calculated by month instead of number of days (e.g. three months from January 1 would be March 1 regardless of actual number of days). Length of Stay Requirements Club Wyndham gives you the flexibility to vacation your way. You can confirm up to 14 nights in 1 reservation with no more than 7 nights of the reservation going into the next booking window. Vacationing isn%u2019t one size fits all. In addition to choosing your location, season, length of stay, and suite type, you can also pick which day of week you want to check in, so that each getaway fits your vacation needs.**Some resorts in the Club Wyndham portfolio require check-in on specific days and/or 7-night stays at all times. Please refer to the individual points charts to determine requirements.Reservation TimelinesAdvance Reservation PriorityPlanning ahead and great vacations go hand in hand.
