Your Points explained

Save Points

Borrow Points

If you have any unused Points left over at the end of your Use Year, they will automatically be saved into your next Use Year so you don’t lose out. But if you don’t use them by the end of the second year, your Points will expire unless you extend them.

If you need more Points than you currently have for an Exchange holiday, you can borrow them from your next Use Year’s allocation to top up your available Points.

Save from last year and add to this year

Extend Points If you haven’t been able to use your Points in the two years since they were first allocated, you can take the option of extending them for a further third year, for a small fee.

For example If you own 50,000 Points: In Use Year 1, you could use 10,000 points on Previous Use Year

Current Use Year

a studio apartment and 15,000 points on a 1 bedroom apartment leaving you with 25,000 points to enjoy another Points

Borrow from next year and add to this year

Exchange Holiday or save over to your next Use Year.

In Use Year 2, you might decide to book a 3 week Exchange Holiday in peak season at a value of 100,000 points. You can do this, because you can spend the points you’ve saved from Use Year 1 (25,000), use your current available Points (50,000) and borrow some points from use year 3 (25,000).

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions Q How do Wyndham Home Exchange calculate the Points values of the resorts?

A. The point values are based upon several variables including location of affiliated resort, resort quality, resort amenities, unit configuration and time of year.

Q Will the Points value of my week ever change?

A. The calculations will be reviewed from time to time and should the values alter dramatically then both your Points ownership and the Points required for an Exchange Holiday at that resort or holiday home will either increase or decrease.

Q What if I want to send a friend or family to use my Points?

A. Your reservation can be given to anyone you wish. For a nominal fee you can purchase a Guest Certificate which allows your friends and/or family to take advantage of the reservation. Guests must be at least 21 years old. Some resorts, however, may have higher age requirements.

Q&A Q How do I let you know that I want to save my Points?

A. You do not need to let us know if Points have not been used by the end of the Use Year in which they were first allocated. They will automatically be saved into the next Use Year.
