Wyndham Resorts - Shell Vacations Club Points devalued to less than 55% of purchase value Nationwide
I purchased membership in Shell Resorts in 2003. The points I purchased were equal to a 1 bedroom 1 week per year during high season. My annual dues are now over $870 per year. A few years ago Wyndham bought Shell and around that time the point structure changed. Now my points are worth 65% of a studio. Changing from 2500 points for a one bdrm during high season to 4550 is painfully significant, unfair and unethical. I HIGHLY recommend avoiding business with Shell and Wyndham Resorts. I gave my membership back. Not enough value to sell. They wouldn't even let me donate 2 years of unused points to their Vacations for Vets program.
I also have a membership with Vacation International. My VI points have the same value as when I purchased them in 1992. VI is a much more reputable company.
