Wyndham Vacation Ownership review: Wyndham Discovery Plan

We were on vacation when we were approached about attending one of those information sessions regarding timeshares. We went but were not interested in buying into a lifelong obligation so we were offered a chance to buy a "Discovery Plan" (a two-year option to explore timeshare ownership without buying a timeshare). So far we've stayed at two resorts. Both were amazing — full-size condos with full-size kitchens. We had to attend another information session (which I agree run longer than they say) but the sales rep allowed us to return to our room and call him with our decision. We turned down the option mainly because most of their properties are all west of the Mississippi and we live east. I actually had to swap out a vacation to CA for on in SC and had no problem doing so we just had to do it a couple months ahead of time. I don't know why these timeshare companies don't do more Discovery Plans. They make more sense for middle-class families. They should also allow one-time upgrades which would allow families an opportunity to stay at a nicer property one time vice getting angry about paying for a timeshare and then struggling to use it because the sales rep sold the plan showing the elite options but wasn't up front about limited access for those purchasing fewer points. Maybe a family would like to take a once in a lifetime, special occasion elite vacation but cannot afford to pay for an elite status membership year after year until they pass. Just a thought.
