Anyone at all want to trade a week of Wyndham anywhere for a week in NYC? I have been trying and trying to get into the Manhattan Club for the end of July or December on Christmas week with check in the day after Christmas or two days after Christmas. My 17 year old daughter has been dreaming of going there and I really would like to make it happen for her but I am having such a hard time!

Have you considered renting(Exchanging) a very cheap place in the Poconos and just doing the hour-hour and a half drive into the city, its really a simple drive, i drive from Long Island(through the city occasionally) once or twice a year for the ski season in the Pocono's and there are dozens of TS's in the Pocono's right off of I-80 that'll take you directly there....Renting at the manhattan club not only gets expensive because of the additional 'resort fees' and IMO not really worth it because of the small sizes of the roomsOriginally posted by cyseitz
If you want to stay at the Manhattan club because you'd enjoy the 'wow factor' of staying in manhattan for a few nights...i understand...i do the same thing with DC...but if your just looking to stay close to manhattan for the visit.... -

You will note that it requires 58-60 trading points. For most people that is at least 2 maintenance fees and for some it is 3 maintenance fees. There are very few timeshares that will give you 60 points. As an example I have a 3 bedroom early August Ireland week and only get 45.
In my opinion Wyndham has nothing that would make this an equal trade for one week.
May I suggest that you think about depositing a Wyndham resort in one of the independent exchange companies. SFX comes to mind; they oftentimes get Manahttan Club.
Post a message to Mark here on the BBS and ask him for his opinion. Also ask what week/resort/size would give you the best chance of getting the exchange you want, remembering there are no guarantees.

I fail to see why you can't do an exchange. Why limit yourself to the Manhattan Club? We have exchanged into the Manhattan Club ( summer 2008 ), HGVC West 57Th Street ( summer 2010 ), and we have another confirmed exchange for next month at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club-Avenue of the Americas. All 3 of these timeshares are in mid-Manhattan just a few blocks from each other. All of our exchanges are through SFX. I am sure you could get a Wyndham week that would enable you to exchange into any of these NYC timeshares. Both of the Hilton timeshares are better than the Manhattan Club.
I definitely would never consider staying outside of mid-Manhattan. The major attraction is being able to walk out the door to the ambiance of ManhattanJohnComment

Can you clarify this for me? I am still learning all the ins and outs of exchanging.Comment

Did you get this through SFX? I have not ventured out into other exchange companies besides RCI. Mostly becuase my husband insists that we should be able to get it through RCI....and because...we already have RCI points floating around that we need to use....hopefully he will let me venture out into new territory soonOriginally posted by JWC
It is just a bit frustrating to me tryng to get the NYC when I know that is really what we all want.

I went and applied for a Gold Membership with SFX. I did see that it was free to do so. Thank you for the suggestion.Originally posted by JWCComment

If you have a week that is in Wyndham's point system, you can use Wyndham's dedicated portal for 143K for any MC week. That's a fair deal.You will note that it requires 58-60 trading points. For most people that is at least 2 maintenance fees and for some it is 3 maintenance fees.Comment

All my exchanges are through SFX. I have used SFX exclusively for the past 14 years. I dumped RCI and II because I couldn't get the exchanges we wanted.Originally posted by cyseitz View PostDid you get this through SFX?

SFX stopped taking what I had, but I have revisited my timeshare holdings and dumped some of the stuff (kept stuff we could actually use) and bought some that fit SFX's unique preferences. I will be using them in the near future.Originally posted by JWC

As a Wyndham Points owner, you now have access thru the Wyndham RCI portal to get any of the weeks JoyCapeCod listed for 143K....a very good deal.Comment
