Oh, maybe I didn't actually understand what this thread was about. I've definitely used Wyndham for timeshare rentals, that's my favorite use of Wyndham points. My favorite property is a Shell property at Fisherman's Wharf, but the Worldmark in Seattle is attractive and I've now cancelled two trips there =( I'm a little confused, though, I haven't had any trouble booking those online at any point. Sometimes availability is limited or completely nonexistent, but then a bulk deposit is made and you can use flexible dates to find availability. There have been tons of open dates this year, I just can't take advantage. I had thought this thread was about actual vacation rentals, not the club/timeshare properties.

Great news all, these are back!
Booking is a bit of a hassle, and as usual, the operator that answers will have no idea what you're talking about. Call 866-996-7937 and ask for a supervisor, it helps if you're patient and polite. The first time I called, I was given a random number to call, they couldn't help me. The second time I called, they sent me to Vacasa directly who also could not help. The third time I called, I politely asked to speak to a supervisor who spoke much better English than the agent and was very helpful. It's best to know the property and dates you want ahead of time, and the Vacasa website availability was accurate for me. They will take your information, fill out a form and call you back in 1-3 business days. It was a full three days for me. I booked an amazing ski condo in Steamboat for spring break for 15K points per night - so it also seems like there are no blackout days.
Super stoked to have this amazing option back. Probably the best redemption deal I've ever had!

Oh wow, no that never came up. The room I booked was less than $500 per night booked directly.

in the last two years I’ve twice booked 1 BR+loft ski condos in Vail and Snowmass that were well in excess of 1000 per night for 15k points per night. Man were those home runs.

The jury is out on that. I saw upthread mention of a $500 per night cap. I intend to book something later this year for Spring 2022 ski trip so I guess I will report back then.

Wyndham is big on 'bulk deposits' where they funnel a bunch of their developer owned weeks towards their hotel program. It's great for shoulder season bookings. When they do this, Wyndham (hotels/rewards) is cheaper for a short stay than booking it as an exchange through RCI. Plus the cancellation terms are far superior.
I wish timeshares didn't have quite the (admittedly well deserved) negative image that they do - loyalty gamers would have a field day with RCI and II. There is a good message board for it but they aren't the same flavor of crazy that I enjoy here.
