Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Background and Basis of Presentation Background Wyndham Destinations, Inc., formerly known as Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Wyndham Destinations” or the “Company”) is a global provider of hospitality services and products. The Company operates in two segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Rentals. The Vacation Ownership segment develops, markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts. The Exchange & Rentals segment provides vacation exchange services and products to owners of VOIs and manages and markets vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent owners. On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off of its hotel business into a separate publicly traded company, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham Hotels”). This transaction was effected through a pro rata distribution of the new hotel entity’s stock to existing Wyndham Destinations shareholders. In connection with the spin-off, the Company entered into certain agreements with Wyndham Hotels to implement the legal and structural separation, govern the relationship between the Company and Wyndham Hotels up to and after the completion of the separation, and allocate various assets, liabilities and obligations, including, among other things, employee benefits, intellectual property and tax-related assets and liabilities between the Company and Wyndham Hotels. The two public companies have entered into long-term exclusive license agreements to retain their affiliations with one of the industry’s top-rated loyalty programs, Wyndham Rewards, as well as to continue to collaborate on inventory-sharing and customer cross-sell initiatives. On May 9, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its European vacation rentals business. For all periods presented, the Company has classified the results of operations for its hotel business and its European vacation rentals business as discontinued operations. See further detail in Note 6 — Discontinued Operations . Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts and transactions of Wyndham Destinations, as well as the entities in which Wyndham Destinations directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to comply with newly adopted accounting standards. See further detail in Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements . The Company changed its balance sheet presentation from classified (distinguishing between short-term and long-term accounts) to unclassified (no such distinction) in the second quarter of 2018. This change was prompted by the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels at which time the Company became predominantly a real-estate timeshare company. This presentation will conform to that of the Company’s peers within the timeshare industry. Both the December 31, 2017 and the June 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been presented in an unclassified format. In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2018 .

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Leases. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for lease accounting. This guidance along with its subsequent corresponding updates requires companies generally to recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Progress continues with our implementation efforts, including the evaluation of the impact that adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial statements and disclosures. We expect that the new guidance for lease accounting will have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. The guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the current two-step goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 of the test. The guidance requires a one-step impairment test in which an entity compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for the interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The guidance will expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance allowing for the reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Stock Compensation - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify nonemployee share-based payment accounting. This new guidance will more closely align the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the statement of financial position. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective transition method. This new guidance had a minimal impact on the Company’s continuing operations. The tables below summarize the impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard and reclassifications related to discontinued operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements: Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Net revenues Previously Reported Balance Discontinued Operations* New Revenue Standard Adjustment Adjusted Balance Service and membership fees $ 653 $ (247 ) $ (5 ) $ 401 Vacation ownership interest sales 448 (1 ) (1 ) 446 Franchise fees 177 (177 ) — — Consumer financing 114 — — 114 Other 87 (76 ) 6 17 Net revenues 1,479 (501 ) — 978 Expenses Operating 654 (230 ) (9 ) 415 Cost of vacation ownership interests 38 — — 38 Consumer financing interest 19 — — 19 Marketing and reservation 231 (96 ) 5 140 General and administrative 191 (40 ) 2 153 Asset impairments 135 — — 135 Depreciation and amortization 66 (33 ) — 33 Total expenses 1,334 (399 ) (2 ) 933 Operating income 145 (102 ) 2 45 Other (income), net (3 ) — — (3 ) Interest expense 39 — — 39 Interest (income) (2 ) 1 — (1 ) Income before income taxes 111 (103 ) 2 10 Provision/(benefit) for income taxes 33 (38 ) 1 (4 ) Income from continuing operations 78 (65 ) 1 14 Income from operations of discontinued businesses, net of income taxes — 65 6 71 Net income $ 78 $ — $ 7 $ 85 Basic earnings per share Continuing operations $ 0.75 $ (0.63 ) $ 0.01 $ 0.13 Discontinued operations — 0.63 0.06 0.69 $ 0.75 $ — $ 0.07 $ 0.82 Diluted earnings per share Continuing operations $ 0.75 $ (0.62 ) $ — $ 0.13 Discontinued operations — 0.62 0.06 0.68 $ 0.75 $ — $ 0.06 $ 0.81 *Excludes the impact of the new revenue standard.

In addition, the cumulative impact to the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2016, was a decrease of $90 million . Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This guidance requires the modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required, which resulted in a cumulative-effect change to retained earnings of $19 million . Clarifying the Definition of a Business . In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business, which assists entities when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of businesses or assets. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. There was no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Compensation - Stock Compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. There was no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Statement of Cash Flows . In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires the retrospective transition method and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. Restricted Cash . In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending amounts for the periods shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required, using a retrospective transition method. The impact of this guidance resulted in escrow deposits and restricted cash being included with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Vacation Ownership The Company develops, markets and sells VOIs to individual consumers, provides property management services at resorts and provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs. The Company’s sales of VOIs are either cash sales or developer-financed sales. Developer financed sales are typically collateralized by the underlying VOI. Revenue is recognized on VOI sales upon transfer of control, which is defined as the point in time when a binding sales contract has been executed, the financing contract has been executed for the remaining transaction price, the statutory rescission period has expired and the transaction price has been deemed to be collectible. For developer-financed sales, the Company reduces the VOI sales transaction price by an estimate of uncollectible consideration at the time of the sale. The Company’s estimates of uncollectible amounts are based largely on the results of the Company’s static pool analysis which relies on historical payment data by customer class. In connection with entering into a VOI sale, the Company may provide its customers with certain non-cash incentives, such as credits for future stays at its resorts. For those VOI sales, the Company bifurcates the sale and allocates the sales price between the VOI sale and the non-cash incentive. Non-cash incentives generally have expiration periods of 18 months or less and are recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control. The Company provides day-to-day property management services including oversight of housekeeping services, maintenance and certain accounting and administrative services for property owners’ associations and clubs. These services may also include reservation and resort renovation activities. Such agreements are generally for terms of one year or less, and are renewed automatically on an annual basis. The Company’s management agreements contain cancellation clauses, which allow for either party to cancel the agreement, by either a majority board vote or a majority vote of non-developer interests. The Company receives fees for such property management services which are collected monthly in advance and are based upon total costs to operate such resorts (or as services are provided in the case of resort renovation activities). Fees for property management services typically approximate 10% of budgeted operating expenses. The Company is entitled to consideration for reimbursement of costs incurred on behalf of the property owners’ association in providing the management services (“reimbursable revenue”). The Company reduces its management fees for amounts it has paid to the property owners’ association that reflect maintenance fees for VOIs for which it retains ownership, as the Company has concluded that such payments are consideration payable to a customer. Exchange & Rentals As a provider of vacation exchange services, the Company enters into affiliation agreements with developers of vacation ownership properties to allow owners of VOIs to trade their intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with the Company’s vacation exchange brands and, for some members, for other leisure-related services and products. Additionally, as a marketer of vacation rental properties, generally the Company enters into contracts for exclusive periods of time with property owners to market the rental of such properties to rental customers. The Company’s vacation exchange brands derive a majority of revenues from membership dues and fees for facilitating members trading of their intervals. Revenues from membership dues represent the fees paid by members or affiliated clubs on their behalf. The Company recognizes revenues from membership dues paid by the member on a straight-line basis over the membership period as the performance obligations are fulfilled through delivery of publications, if applicable, and by providing access to other travel-related products and services. Consideration paid by affiliated clubs for memberships are recognized as revenue over the term of the contract with the affiliated club in proportion to the estimated average monthly member count. Such estimates are adjusted periodically for changes in the actual and forecasted member activity. For additional fees, members have the right to exchange their intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with the Company’s vacation exchange networks and, for certain members, for other leisure-related services and products. Fees for facilitating exchanges are recognized as revenue, net of expected cancellations, when these transactions have been confirmed to the member. The Company’s vacation exchange brands also derive revenues from: (i) additional services, programs with affiliated resorts, club servicing and loyalty programs and (ii) additional exchange-related products that provide members with the ability to protect trading power or points, extend the life of deposits, and combine two or more deposits for the opportunity to exchange into intervals with higher trading power. Other vacation exchange related product fees are deferred and recognized as revenue upon the occurrence of a future exchange, other related transaction or event. The Company earns revenue from its RCI Elite Rewards co–branded credit card program which is primarily generated by cardholder spending and the enrollment of new cardholders. The advance payments received under the program are recognized as a contract liability. The program primarily contains two performance obligations: (i) brand performance services, for which revenue is recognized over the contract term on a straight-line basis, and (ii) issuance and redemption of loyalty points, for which revenue is recognized over time based upon the redemption pattern of the loyalty points earned under the program including an estimate of loyalty points that will expire without redemption . The Company’s vacation rental brands derive revenue from fees associated with the rental of vacation rental properties on behalf of independent owners. The Company remits the rental fee received from the renter to the independent owner, net of the Company’s agreed-upon fee. The related revenue from such fees, net of expected refunds, is recognized over the renter’s stay. The Company’s vacation rental brands also derive revenues from additional services delivered to independent owners, vacation rental guests, and property owners’ associations that are generally recognized when the service is delivered. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities generally represent payments or consideration received in advance for goods or services that the Company has not yet transferred to the customer. Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows: Contract Liabilities June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Deferred subscription revenue $ 233 $ 229 Deferred VOI trial package revenue 110 108 Deferred VOI incentive revenue 98 102 Deferred exchange-related revenue 60 63 Deferred vacation rental revenue 62 38 Deferred co-branded credit card programs revenue 14 13 Deferred other revenue 15 3 Total $ 592 $ 556 In the Company’s vacation ownership business, deferred VOI trial package revenue represents consideration received in advance for a trial VOI, which allows customers to utilize a vacation package typically within one year of purchase. Deferred VOI incentive revenue represents payments received in advance for additional travel-related services and products at the time of a VOI sale. Revenue is recognized when a customer utilizes the additional services and products, which is typically within one year of the VOI sale. Within the Company’s vacation exchange business, deferred subscription revenue represents billings and payments received in advance from members and affiliated clubs for memberships in the Company’s vacation exchange programs which are recognized in future periods. Deferred exchange-related revenue primarily represent payments received in advance from members for the right to exchange their intervals for intervals at other properties affiliated with the Company’s vacation exchange networks and for other leisure-related services and products which are generally recognized as revenue within one year. In the Company's vacation rentals business, deferred vacation rental revenue represent billings and payments received in advance of a customer’s rental stay which are generally recognized as revenue within one year. Capitalized Contract Costs The Company’s vacation ownership business incurs certain direct and incremental selling costs in connection with VOI trial package and incentive revenues. Such costs are capitalized and subsequently amortized over the utilization period, which is typically within one year of the sale. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these capitalized costs were $42 million and $44 million , respectively, and are included within other assets on the Condense Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s vacation exchange and vacation rentals businesses incur certain direct and incremental selling costs to obtain contracts with customers in connection with subscription revenues, exchange–related revenues, and vacation rental revenues. Such costs, which are primarily comprised of commissions paid to internal and external parties and credit card processing fees, are deferred at the inception of the contract and recognized when the benefit is transferred to the customer. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these capitalized costs were $22 million and $9 million , respectively. Practical Expedients The Company has not adjusted the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it expected, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company satisfied the performance obligation and when the customer paid for that good or service was one year or less. For contracts with customers that were modified before the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented, the Company did not retrospectively restate the revenue associated with the contract for those modifications. Instead, it reflected the aggregate effect of all prior modifications in determining (i) the performance obligations and transaction prices and (ii) the allocation of such transaction prices to the performance obligations. Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The consideration received from a customer is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, each performance obligation is satisfied. The following table summarizes the Company’s remaining performance obligations for the twelve month periods set forth below: 7/1/2018- 6/30/2019 7/1/2019- 6/30/2020 7/1/2020- 6/30/2021 Thereafter Total Subscription revenue $ 130 $ 55 $ 27 $ 21 $ 233 VOI trial package revenue 110 — — — 110 VOI incentive revenue 98 — — — 98 Exchange-related revenue 54 4 1 1 60 Vacation rental revenue 62 — — — 62 Co-branded credit card programs revenue 6 4 2 2 14 Other revenue 15 — — — 15 Total $ 475 $ 63 $ 30 $ 24 $ 592 Disaggregation of Net Revenues The table below presents a disaggregation of the Company’s net revenues from contracts with customers by major services and products for each of the Company’s segments: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Vacation Ownership Vacation ownership interest sales $ 462 $ 446 $ 820 $ 796 Property management fees and reimbursable revenues 162 164 325 327 Consumer financing 120 114 237 224 Wyndham Asset Affiliation Model (“WAAM”) fee-for-service commissions 10 4 20 7 Ancillary revenues 16 17 29 30 Total Vacation Ownership 770 745 1,431 1,384 Exchange & Rentals Exchange revenues 166 165 354 352 Vacation rental revenues 47 46 85 84 Ancillary revenues 25 23 45 41 Total Exchange & Rentals 238 234 484 477 Corporate and Other Eliminations (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) (1 ) Net Revenues $ 1,007 $ 978 $ 1,914 $ 1,860

(b) Excludes 0.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the three months ended June 30, 2018 that would have been anti-dilutive to EPS. Includes unvested dilutive RSUs which are subject to future forfeiture. The number of anti-dilutive RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were immaterial. (c) Excludes 0.7 million and 0.6 million performance-vested restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , as the Company had not met the required performance metrics. As a result of the spin-off of the hotel business, the Company accelerated the vesting of PSUs. There were no outstanding PSUs as of June 30, 2018 .

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions In January 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with La Quinta Holdings Inc. (“La Quinta”) to acquire its hotel franchising and management businesses for $1.95 billion . At the time we entered into this agreement, we obtained financing commitments of $2.0 billion in the form of an unsecured bridge term loan, which was subsequently replaced with net cash proceeds from the issuance of $500 million unsecured notes, a $1.6 billion term loan and a $750 million revolving credit facility, which was undrawn as of June 30, 2018. This acquisition closed on May 30, 2018, prior to the hotel business spin-off. Upon completion of the spin-off, La Quinta became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham Hotels and the associated debt was transferred to Wyndham Hotels.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations On May 9, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its European vacation rentals business to Compass IV Limited, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC, and received net proceeds of $1.03 billion , which resulted in an after-tax gain of $432 million , net of $159 million in taxes. The after-tax gain factors in reductions for the impact of the estimated fair value of guarantees and other indemnities totaling $87 million , of which $41 million was provided by Wyndham Hotels, and a $53 million escrow deposit made by the Company in connection with post-closing credit support as discussed in Note 21 — Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries . The transaction is subject to customary adjustments for cash, debt and working capital. On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of its hotel business. This transaction was effected through a pro rata distribution of the new hotel entity’s stock to existing Wyndham Destinations shareholders. This spin-off included the newly-acquired La Quinta businesses as discussed in Note 5 — Acquisitions . In addition, in the second quarter the Company sold its Knights Inn brand and franchise system for $27 million , resulting in a $23 million gain. For all periods presented, the Company has classified the results of operations for its hotel business and the European vacation rentals business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. All results and information presented exclude these discontinued businesses unless otherwise noted. Discontinued operations include direct expenses clearly identifiable to the businesses being discontinued and will not continue to be recognized on an ongoing basis. Discontinued operations exclude the allocation of corporate overhead and interest. Discontinued operations included $72 million and $93 million of separation and related costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Prior to the spin-off of the hotel business, the Company had three reportable segments: Vacation Ownership, Destination Network and Hotel Group. Prior to its classification as a discontinued operation, the European vacation rentals business was part of the Destination Network segment and the hotel business comprised the Hotel Group segment. Following the spin-off of the hotel business, the Company changed the structure of its internal organization which caused the composition of its reportable segments to change. The Company now has two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Rentals as discussed in Note 17 — Segment Information . The following table presents the aggregate carrying amounts of the classes of assets and liabilities from discontinued operations: December 31, 2017 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 184 Trade receivables, net 493 Property and equipment, net 609 Goodwill 855 Other intangibles, net 1,059 Other assets 364 Total assets of discontinued operations $ 3,564 Liabilities Accounts payable $ 358 Deferred income 436 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 556 Debt 69 Total liabilities of discontinued operations $ 1,419 The results of our discontinued businesses reflect the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. Under this standard, initial fees were recognized ratably over the life of the noncancelable period of the franchise agreement and incremental upfront contract costs were deferred and expensed over the life of the noncancelable period of the franchise agreement. Revenue from rentals was recognized over the renters’ stay, which is the period over which the service is rendered. Loyalty revenues were deferred and primarily recognized over the loyalty points’ redemption pattern. Additionally, a liability is no longer accrued for future marketing and reservation costs when marketing and reservation revenues earned exceed costs incurred. Marketing and reservation costs incurred in excess of revenues earned were expensed as incurred. The following table below presents information regarding certain components of income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net revenues $ 311 $ 507 $ 720 $ 876 Expenses: Operating 150 218 340 394 Marketing and reservation 86 107 200 213 General and administrative 34 40 89 80 Separation and related costs 72 — 93 — Depreciation and amortization 18 32 52 63 Total expenses 360 397 774 750 Other (income), net 2 — — (2 ) Provision/(benefit) for income taxes (9 ) 39 (5 ) 53 Income/(loss) from operations of discontinued businesses, net of income taxes (42 ) 71 (49 ) 75 Income on disposal of discontinued businesses, net of income taxes 432 — 432 — Income on discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ 390 $ 71 $ 383 $ 75 The following table presents information regarding certain components of cash flows from discontinued operations: Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Cash flows provided by operating activities $ 212 $ 431 Cash flows used in investing activities (672 ) (26 ) Cash flows provided by/(used in) financing activities 2,066 (11 ) Non-cash items: Forgiveness of intercompany debt from Wyndham Hotels 197 — Depreciation and amortization 52 63 Stock-based compensation 22 5 Deferred income taxes (23 ) (4 ) Property and equipment additions (38 ) (31 ) Net assets of business acquired, net of cash acquired (1,695 ) (2 ) Proceeds from sale of businesses and asset sales 1,052 8

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company originated vacation ownership contract receivables of $686 million and $640 million , respectively, and received principal collections of $453 million and $443 million , respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding vacation ownership contract receivables was 14.0% and 13.9% as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The activity in the allowance for loan losses on vacation ownership contract receivables was as follows: Amount Allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2017 $ 691 Provision for loan losses 218 Contract receivables write-offs, net (204 ) Allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2018 $ 705 Amount Allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2016 $ 621 Provision for loan losses 195 Contract receivables write-offs, net (173 ) Allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2017 $ 643 In accordance with the guidance for accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $126 million and $218 million as a reduction of net revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, and $110 million and $195 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. Credit Quality for Financed Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses The basis of the differentiation within the identified class of financed VOI contract receivables is the consumer’s FICO score. A FICO score is a branded version of a consumer credit score widely used in the United States by the largest banks and lending institutions. FICO scores range from 300 to 850 and are calculated based on information obtained from one or more of the three major U.S. credit reporting agencies that compile and report on a consumer’s credit history. The Company updates its records for all active VOI contract receivables with a balance due on a rolling monthly basis to ensure that all VOI contract receivables are scored at least every six months. The Company groups all VOI contract receivables into five different categories: FICO scores ranging from 700 to 850, ranging from 600 to 699, Below 600, No Score (primarily comprised of consumers for whom a score is not readily available, including consumers declining access to FICO scores and non-U.S. residents) and Asia Pacific (comprised of receivables in the Company’s Wyndham Vacation Resort Asia Pacific business for which scores are not readily available). The following table details an aging analysis of financing receivables using the most recently updated FICO scores (based on the policy described above): As of June 30, 2018 700+ 600-699 <600 No Score Asia Pacific Total Current $ 1,883 $ 1,019 $ 174 $ 136 $ 254 $ 3,466 31 - 60 days 17 24 16 5 2 64 61 - 90 days 10 14 11 3 1 39 91 - 120 days 10 13 13 3 1 40 Total $ 1,920 $ 1,070 $ 214 $ 147 $ 258 $ 3,609 As of December 31, 2017 700+ 600-699 <600 No Score Asia Pacific Total Current $ 1,849 $ 1,021 $ 166 $ 133 $ 262 $ 3,431 31 - 60 days 19 32 17 5 2 75 61 - 90 days 9 18 13 3 1 44 91 - 120 days 9 16 15 2 — 42 Total $ 1,886 $ 1,087 $ 211 $ 143 $ 265 $ 3,592 The Company ceases to accrue interest on VOI contract receivables once the contract has remained delinquent for greater than 90 days. At greater than 120 days, the VOI contract receivable is written off to the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with its policy, the Company assesses the allowance for loan losses using a static pool methodology and thus does not assess individual loans for impairment separate from the pool.

Refer to Note 21 — Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries for additional detail. New Credit Agreement On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent. The agreement provides for new senior secured credit facilities in the amount of $1.3 billion , consisting of secured term loan B of $300 million maturing in 2025 and a new revolving facility of $1.0 billion maturing in 2023. The interest rate per annum applicable to the term loan B is equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate (currently 5.00% ) plus a margin of 1.25% or LIBOR (Eurocurrency Rate) plus a margin of 2.25% . The interest rate per annum applicable to borrowings under the new revolving credit facility is equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate (currently 5.00% ) plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% , in either case based upon the first-lien leverage ratio of Wyndham Destinations and its restricted subsidiaries. The LIBOR rate with respect to either term loan B or revolving credit facility borrowings are not subject to a minimum rate. In connection with the new credit agreement, the Company entered into a security agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent, as defined in the security agreement, for the secured parties. The security agreement granted a security interest in the collateral of the Company and added the holders of Wyndham Destinations’ outstanding 7.375% notes due 2020, 5.625% notes due 2021, 4.25% notes due 2022, 3.90% notes due 2023, 4.15% notes due 2024, 5.10% notes due 2025 and 4.50% notes due 2027, as “secured parties,” as defined in the security agreement, that share equally and ratably in the collateral owned by the Company for so long as indebtedness under the credit agreement is secured by such collateral. Separation and Related Debt Activity In connection with the spin-off and the entry into the credit facilities described above, on May 31, 2018, the Company used net proceeds from the secured term loan B and $220 million of borrowings under the new $1.0 billion revolving credit facility to repay $484 million of outstanding principal borrowings under its revolving credit facility maturing in 2020. In addition, effective May 31, 2018, the Company terminated the $1.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing in 2020, the $400 million 364 -day credit facility maturing in 2018 and the $325 million term loan maturing in 2021. In January 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with La Quinta to acquire its hotel franchising and management businesses for $1.95 billion . At the time we entered into this agreement, we obtained financing commitments of $2.0 billion in the form of an unsecured bridge term loan, which was subsequently replaced with net cash proceeds from the issuance of $500 million unsecured notes, a $1.6 billion term loan and a $750 million revolving credit facility, which was undrawn. This acquisition closed on May 30, 2018, prior to the hotel business spin-off. Upon completion of the spin-off, La Quinta became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wyndham Hotels and the associated debt remained debt of Wyndham Hotels for which we are not liable. Following the spin-off, the Company’s corporate notes were downgraded by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). Pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing the Company’s 4.15% Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), 5.10% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), and 4.50% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), as a result of such notes being downgraded by S&P and Moody’s following the consummation of the spin-off, effective from October 1, 2018, the interest rate on the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes will be increased to 5.40% , 6.35% and 5.75% per annum, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the indentures governing such series of notes, the interest rate on each such series of notes may be subject to future increases or decreases, as a result of future downgrades or upgrades to the credit ratings of such notes by S&P, Moody’s or a substitute rating agency. Sierra Timeshare Conduit Renewal On April 6, 2018, the Company renewed its securitized timeshare receivables conduit facility for a two -year period through April 2020 and increased the capacity to $800 million . Borrowings under this facility are required to be repaid as the collateralized receivables amortize, no later than May 2021. Sierra Timeshare 2018-1 Receivables Funding, LLC On April 18, 2018, the Company closed on a private placement of a series of term notes payable, issued by Sierra Timeshare 2018-1 Receivables Fundings, LLC, with an initial principal amount of $350 million , which are secured by vacation ownership contract receivables and bear interest at a weighted average coupon rate of 3.73% . The advance rate for this transaction was 90.00% . Commercial Paper The Company terminated its European and U.S. commercial paper programs during the first and second quarter of 2018, respectively. Prior to termination, the U.S. and European commercial paper programs had total capacities of $750 million and $500 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company had no outstanding borrowings under these programs. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company had outstanding borrowings of $147 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.34% under its U.S. commercial paper program. Fair Value Hedges During the first quarter of 2017, the Company entered into pay-variable/receive-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its 4.50% senior unsecured notes with notional amounts of $400 million . The fixed interest rate on these notes was effectively modified to a variable LIBOR-based index. As of June 30, 2018 , the variable interest rate on the notional portion of the 4.50% senior unsecured notes was 4.27% . During 2013, the Company entered into pay-variable/receive-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its 3.90% and 4.25% senior unsecured notes with notional amounts of $400 million and $100 million , respectively. The fixed interest rates on these notes were effectively modified to a variable LIBOR-based index. During May 2015, the Company terminated the swap agreements resulting in a gain of $17 million , which is being amortized over the remaining life of the senior unsecured notes as a reduction to interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has $8 million and $9 million of deferred gains as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 which are included within debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Maturities and Capacity The Company’s outstanding debt as of June 30, 2018 matures as follows: Non-recourse Vacation Ownership Debt Debt Total Within 1 year $ 229 $ 79 $ 308 Between 1 and 2 years 621 45 666 Between 2 and 3 years 408 252 660 Between 3 and 4 years 148 652 800 Between 4 and 5 years 160 651 811 Thereafter 528 1,301 1,829 $ 2,094 $ 2,980 $ 5,074 Required principal payments on the non-recourse vacation ownership debt are based on the contractual repayment terms of the underlying vacation ownership contract receivables. Actual maturities may differ as a result of prepayments by the vacation ownership contract receivable obligors. As of June 30, 2018 , available capacity under the Company’s borrowing arrangements was as follows: Non-recourse Conduit Facilities (a) Revolving Credit Facilities (b) Total Capacity $ 1,550 $ 1,000 Less: Outstanding Borrowings 868 243 Letters of credit — 36 Available Capacity $ 682 $ 721 (a) Consists of the Company’s Sierra Receivable Funding Conduit II 2008-A and Sierra Receivable Funding Conduit III 2017-A facilities. The capacity of these facilities is subject to the Company’s ability to provide additional assets to collateralize additional non-recourse borrowings. (b) Consists of the Company’s $1.0 billion revolving credit facilities. Debt Covenants The revolving credit facilities and term loan are subject to covenants including the maintenance of specific financial ratios as defined in the credit agreement. Commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018, the financial ratio covenants consist of a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 2.5 to 1.0 as of the measurement date and a maximum first lien leverage ratio not to exceed 4.25 to 1.0 as of the measurement date. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) by consolidated interest expense (as defined in the credit agreement), both as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. As of June 30, 2018 , our interest coverage ratio was 5.9 to 1.0. The first lien leverage ratio is calculated by dividing consolidated first lien debt (as defined in the credit agreement) as of the measurement date by consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) as measured on a trailing 12-month basis preceding the measurement date. As of June 30, 2018 , our first lien leverage ratio was 2.9 to 1.0. These ratios do not include interest expense or indebtedness related to any qualified securitization financing (as defined in the credit agreement). As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants described above. Each of our non-recourse term securitizations and bank conduit facilities contain certain tests based on default, delinquency and overcollateralization rates of the loan pool that collateralizes such non-recourse financing. If a loan pool is not in compliance with those tests, the cash flows form that loan pool will be retained as extra collateral for such financing or applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to the note holders. As of June 30, 2018 , all of our loan pools were in compliance with the applicable tests. Interest Expense During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company incurred interest expense of $46 million and $91 million , respectively, on debt excluding non-recourse vacation ownership debt, partially offset by less than $1 million and $1 million of capitalized interest, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company incurred interest expense of $39 million and $73 million , respectively, on debt excluding non-recourse vacation ownership debt, partially offset by less than $1 million and $1 million of capitalized interest. Such amounts are included within interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash paid related to such interest was $69 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Interest expense incurred in connection with the Company’s non-recourse vacation ownership debt during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $20 million and $39 million , respectively, and $19 million and $37 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , respectively, and is recorded within consumer financing interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Variable Interest Entity, Consolidated, Carrying Amount, Assets and Liabilities, Net [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the consolidation of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees, special purpose entities (“SPEs”) and equity investments, to determine if an entity in which the Company has a variable interest is a VIE. If the entity is considered to be a VIE, the Company determines whether it would be considered the entity’s primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates into its financial statements those VIEs for which it has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. Vacation Ownership Contract Receivables Securitizations The Company pools qualifying vacation ownership contract receivables and sells them to bankruptcy-remote entities. Vacation ownership contract receivables qualify for securitization based primarily on the credit strength of the VOI purchaser to whom financing has been extended. Vacation ownership contract receivables are securitized through bankruptcy-remote SPEs that are consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. As a result, the Company does not recognize gains or losses resulting from these securitizations at the time of sale to the SPEs. Interest income is recognized when earned over the contractual life of the vacation ownership contract receivables. The Company services the securitized vacation ownership contract receivables pursuant to servicing agreements negotiated on an arm’s-length basis based on market conditions. The activities of these SPEs are limited to (i) purchasing vacation ownership contract receivables from the Company’s vacation ownership subsidiaries, (ii) issuing debt securities and/or borrowing under a conduit facility to fund such purchases and (iii) entering into derivatives to hedge interest rate exposure. The bankruptcy-remote SPEs are legally separate from the Company. The receivables held by the bankruptcy-remote SPEs are not available to creditors of the Company and legally are not assets of the Company. Additionally, the non-recourse debt that is securitized through the SPEs is legally not a liability of the Company and thus, the creditors have no recourse to the Company for principal and interest. The assets and liabilities of these vacation ownership SPEs are as follows: June 30, December 31, Securitized contract receivables, gross (a) $ 2,509 $ 2,553 Securitized restricted cash (b) 114 106 Interest receivables on securitized contract receivables (c) 20 22 Other assets (d) 5 4 Total SPE assets 2,648 2,685 Non-recourse term notes (e) (f) 1,226 1,219 Non-recourse conduit facilities (e) 868 879 Other liabilities (g) 2 2 Total SPE liabilities 2,096 2,100 SPE assets in excess of SPE liabilities $ 552 $ 585 (a) Included in vacation ownership contract receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (b) Included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (c) Included in trade receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (d) Primarily includes deferred financing costs for the bank conduit facility and a security investment asset, which is included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (e) Included in non-recourse vacation ownership debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (f) Includes deferred financing costs of $13 million and $15 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively, related to non-recourse debt (g) Primarily includes accrued interest on non-recourse debt, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company has vacation ownership contract receivables that have not been securitized through bankruptcy-remote SPEs. Such gross receivables were $1.10 billion and $1.04 billion as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. A summary of total vacation ownership contract receivables and other securitized assets, net of non-recourse liabilities and the allowance for loan losses, is as follows: June 30, December 31, SPE assets in excess of SPE liabilities $ 552 $ 585 Non-securitized contract receivables 1,100 1,039 Less: Allowance for loan losses 705 691 Total, net $ 947 $ 933 In addition to restricted cash related to securitizations, the Company had $119 million and $65 million of restricted cash related to escrow deposits as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively, which are recorded within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Clearwater, FL Property During 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party partner whereby the partner would develop and construct VOI inventory through an SPE. During the first quarter of 2017, the third-party partner met certain conditions of the agreement, which resulted in the Company committing to purchase $51 million of VOI inventory from the SPE over a two -year period. Such proceeds from the purchase will be used by the SPE to repay its mortgage notes related to the property. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary for specified assets and liabilities of the SPE and, therefore, the Company consolidated $51 million of both property and equipment and other debt on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands Property During 2015, the Company sold real property located in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands to a third-party developer to construct VOI inventory through an SPE. In accordance with the agreements with the third-party developer, the Company has conditional rights and conditional obligations to repurchase the completed property from the developer subject to the property conforming to the Company's vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the third-party developer has not sold the property to another party. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company became the primary beneficiary for specified assets and liabilities of the SPE, and therefore consolidated $64 million of property and equipment and $104 million of debt on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of this consolidation, the Company incurred a non-cash $37 million loss due to a write-down of property and equipment to fair value. The assets and liabilities of the Clearwater, FL Property and Saint Thomas Property SPEs are as follows: June 30, December 31, Property and equipment, net $ 55 $ 90 Total SPE assets 55 90 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 1 — Debt (a) 75 131 Total SPE liabilities 76 131 SPE deficit $ (21 ) $ (41 ) (a) Included $75 million and $131 million relating to mortgage notes, which were included in Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the SPE conveyed $17 million and $30 million , respectively, of property and equipment to the Company.

Fair Value	Fair Value The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis and utilizes the fair value hierarchy to determine such fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls has been determined based on the lowest level input (closest to Level 3) that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company had interest rate swap contracts resulting in $17 million of liabilities which are included within other liabilities and foreign exchange contracts resulting in $1 million of assets which are included within other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. On a recurring basis, such assets and liabilities are remeasured at estimated fair value (all of which are Level 2) and thus are equal to the carrying value. The Company’s derivative instruments primarily consist of pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate swaps, pay-variable/receive-fixed interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, foreign exchange forward contracts and foreign exchange average rate forward contracts. For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Assets and liabilities that are measured using other significant observable inputs are valued by reference to similar assets and liabilities. For these items, a significant portion of fair value is derived by reference to quoted prices of similar assets and liabilities in active markets. For assets and liabilities that are measured using significant unobservable inputs, fair value is primarily derived using a fair value model, such as a discounted cash flow model. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques, as appropriate. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of all other financial instruments are as follows: June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Assets Vacation ownership contract receivables, net $ 2,904 $ 3,517 $ 2,901 $ 3,489 Debt Total debt $ 5,074 $ 5,057 $ 6,006 $ 6,084 The Company estimates the fair value of its vacation ownership contract receivables using a discounted cash flow model which it believes is comparable to the model that an independent third-party would use in the current market. The model uses Level 3 inputs consisting of default rates, prepayment rates, coupon rates and loan terms for the contract receivables portfolio as key drivers of risk and relative value that, when applied in combination with pricing parameters, determines the fair value of the underlying contract receivables. The Company estimates the fair value of its non-recourse vacation ownership debt by obtaining Level 2 inputs comprised of indicative bids from investment banks that actively issue and facilitate the secondary market for timeshare securities. The Company estimates the fair value of its debt, excluding capital leases, using Level 2 inputs based on indicative bids from investment banks and determines the fair value of its senior notes using quoted market prices (such senior notes are not actively traded).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Foreign Currency Risk The Company has foreign currency rate exposure to exchange rate fluctuations worldwide with particular exposure to the British pound, Euro, Canadian and Australian dollars, Brazilian real, and Mexican peso. The Company uses freestanding foreign currency forward contracts to manage a portion of its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with its foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries and intercompany borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s underlying functional currency. Additionally, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage a portion of its exposure to changes in forecasted foreign currency denominated vendor payments. Gains and losses relating to freestanding foreign currency contracts are included in operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are substantially offset by the earnings effect from the underlying items that were economically hedged. The freestanding foreign currency contracts resulted in $10 million and $ 1 million of gains during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The freestanding foreign currency contracts resulted in $3 million and $2 million of gains during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The amount of gains or losses relating to contracts designated as cash flow hedges that the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI to earnings over the next 12 months is not material. Interest Rate Risk A portion of the debt used to finance the Company’s operations is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The Company uses various hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments to create a desired mix of fixed and floating rate assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments currently used in these hedging strategies include swaps and interest rate caps. The derivatives used to manage the risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt include freestanding derivatives and derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The Company also uses swaps to convert specific fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt (i.e., fair value hedges) to manage the overall interest cost. For relationships designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in income with offsetting adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged debt. The amount of gains or losses that the Company expects to reclassify from AOCI to earnings during the next 12 months is not material. Losses on derivatives recognized in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were not material.

Current Income Tax Expense (Benefit), Continuing Operations [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, as well as in foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2014. In addition, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations for years prior to 2009. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from (40.0)% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 146.2% during the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to (i) the absence of the tax benefit recognized from an internal restructuring undertaken to realign the organizational and capital structure of certain foreign operations during 2017 (ii) the absence of a tax benefit on non-cash impairment charges primarily related to the write-down of undeveloped VOI land (iii) non-cash state tax charges associated with the separation of the hotel business partially offset by (iv) tax benefit from the corporate income tax rate reduction resulting from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company’s effective tax rate increased from (2.0)% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 68.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to (i) the absence of tax benefit on foreign currency losses recognized from an internal restructuring undertaken to realign the organizational and capital structure of certain foreign operations during 2017 (ii) non-cash state tax charges associated with the separation of the hotel business (iii) non-cash tax charges from certain internal restructurings associated with the sale of its European vacation rentals business during 2018 partially offset by (iv) tax benefit from the corporate income tax rate reduction resulting from the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $92 million and $142 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. In addition, the Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $ 10 million and $ 13 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, related to discontinued operations. The Company has not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to the impact from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act recorded for 2017 during this quarter, because none of its estimates have changed from year-end. However, the Company is continuing to gather additional information to complete its accounting by no later than December 31, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings, and governmental inquiries related to the Company’s business. Wyndham Destinations Litigation The Company is involved in claims, legal and regulatory proceedings, and governmental inquiries arising in the ordinary course of its business including but not limited to: for its vacation ownership business–breach of contract, bad faith, conflict of interest, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims by property owners’ associations, owners and prospective owners in connection with the sale or use of VOIs or land, or the management of vacation ownership resorts, construction defect claims relating to vacation ownership units or resorts or in relation to guest reservations and bookings; and negligence, breach of contract, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims by guests and other consumers for alleged injuries sustained at or acts or occurrences related to vacation ownership units or resorts or in relation to guest reservations and bookings; for its exchange & rentals business–breach of contract, fraud and bad faith claims by affiliates and customers in connection with their respective agreements, negligence, breach of contract, fraud, consumer protection and other statutory claims asserted by members, guests and other consumers for alleged injuries sustained at or acts or occurrences related to affiliated resorts and vacation rental properties, or in relation to guest reservations and bookings; and for each of its businesses, bankruptcy proceedings involving efforts to collect receivables from a debtor in bankruptcy, employment matters including but not limited to, claims of wrongful termination, retaliation, discrimination, harassment and wage and hour claims, claims of infringement upon third parties’ intellectual property rights, claims relating to information security, privacy and consumer protection, fiduciary duty/trust claims, tax claims, environmental claims and landlord/tenant disputes. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, the Company evaluates, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, the Company’s ability to make a reasonable estimate of loss. The Company reviews these accruals each reporting period and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances including changes to its strategy in dealing with these matters. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for such matters wit h reserves of $13 million an d $25 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Such reserves are exclusive of matters relating to the Company’s separation from Cendant. For matters not requiring accrual, the Company believes that such matters will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows based on information currently available. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and, although the Company believes that its accruals are adequate and/or that it has valid defenses in these matters, unfavorable results could occur. As such, an adverse outcome from such proceedings for which claims are awarded in excess of the amounts accrued, if any, could be material to the Company with respect to earnings and/or cash flows in any given reporting period. As of June 30, 2018 , the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of such legal proceedings could, in the aggregate, range up to $48 million in excess of recorded accruals. However, the Company does not believe that the impact of such litigation should result in a material liability to the Company in relation to its consolidated financial position and/or liquidity. Other Guarantees and Indemnifications Vacation Ownership The Company has committed to repurchase completed property located in Las Vegas, Nevada from a third-party developer subject to such property meeting the Company’s vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the third-party developer has not sold such property to another party (see Note 8 — Inventory ). In connection with the Company’s vacation ownership inventory sale transactions, for which it has conditional rights and conditional obligations to repurchase the completed properties, the Company was required to maintain an investment-grade credit rating from at least one rating agency. As a result of the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels, the Company failed to maintain an investment-grade credit rating with at least one rating agency, which triggered a default. The Company agreed to pay $8 million in fees in lieu of posting collateral in favor of the development partner in an amount equal to the remaining obligations under the agreements. For information on guarantees and indemnifications related to the Company’s former parent and subsidiaries see Note 21 — Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries .

Under the new plan, a maximum of 15.7 million shares of common stock may be awarded. Incentive Equity Awards Granted by the Company In connection with the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels the Company accelerated vesting of all Wyndham Worldwide Corporation RSUs granted through the year ended December 31, 2017. RSUs held by Wyndham Hotel employees were immediately accelerated on date of spin-off and RSUs held by Wyndham Destination employees will vest on November 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company granted incentive equity awards to key employees and senior officers totaling $36 million in the form of RSUs and $7 million in the form of stock options. The awarded RSUs and stock options will vest ratably over a period of 48 months.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , $15 million of this expense has been classified within discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included $87 million , and $92 million of expense related to the modification of certain grants to accelerate vesting in connection with the separation, which expense has been classified in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income within separation and related costs in continuing operations. The Company estimates that it will recognize an additional $15 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these modifications during the second half of 2018. Additionally, $1 million of stock-based compensation expense was recorded within restructuring expense during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The Company paid $67 million and $ 34 million of taxes for the net share settlement of incentive equity awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information As a result of the hotel spin-off, the Company now has two operating segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Rentals. The Vacation Ownership segment develops, markets and sells VOIs to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts. The Exchange & Rentals segment provides vacation exchange services and products to owners of VOIs and manages and markets vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent owners. The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which discrete financial information is available and which is utilized on a regular basis by its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company also considers the nature of services provided by its operating segments. The Company has updated its segment reporting this quarter to include Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, whereas in the past EBITDA was presented. Following the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels and the sale of the European vacation rental business, management will base their performance review of the reportable segments on net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense (excluding consumer financing interest), early extinguishment of debt, interest income (excluding consumer financing revenues) and income taxes, each of which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation costs, separation and restructuring costs, transaction costs, impairments, and items that meet the conditions of unusual and/or infrequent. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of performance for its segments which, when considered with GAAP measures, the Company believes it gives a more complete understanding of its operating performance. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Separation and Related Costs [Abstract]
Separation-Related and Transaction-Related Costs	Separation-Related and Transaction-Related Costs On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of its hotel business. This transaction resulted in operations being held by two separate, publicly traded companies as discussed in Note 1 — Background and Basis of Presentation . Prior to the spin-off, the Company completed the sale of its European vacation rentals business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company incurred $133 million and $163 million of expenses, respectively, in connection with the spin-off of the hotel business which are reflected within continuing operations and include related costs of the spin-off, of which $132 million and $161 million were related to stock compensation modification expense, severance and other employee costs offset in part by favorable foreign currency. In addition, these costs include certain impairment charges related to the separation including property sold to Wyndham Hotels. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company incurred $72 million and $93 million of expenses, respectively, in connection with the hotel spin-off and $8 million and $19 million , respectively, related to the European vacation rentals business. These expenses are reflected within discontinued operations and include legal, consulting and auditing fees, stock compensation modification expense, severance, and other employee-related costs. Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries Matters Related to Cendant Pursuant to the Cendant Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into certain guarantee commitments with Cendant and Cendant’s former subsidiary, Realogy. These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities, and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which Wyndham Worldwide assumed 37.5% of the responsibility while Cendant’s former subsidiary Realogy is responsible for the remaining 62.5% . As a result of the Wyndham Worldwide separation, Wyndham Hotels agreed to retain one third of Cendant’s contingent and other corporate liabilities and associated costs; therefore, Wyndham Destinations is effectively responsible for 25% of such matters subsequent to the separation. Since Cendant’s separation, Cendant settled the majority of the lawsuits pending on the date of the separation. As of June 30, 2018 , the Cendant separation and related liabilities of $16 million are comprised of $13 million for tax liabilities, $1 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities and $2 million of liabilities where the calculated guarantee amount exceeded the contingent liability assumed at the separation date. These liabilities were recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company had $16 million of Cendant separation-related liabilities, which were recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Matters Related to Wyndham Hotels In connection with the spin-off of the hotel business on May 31, 2018, Wyndham Destinations entered into several agreements with Wyndham Hotels that govern the relationship of the parties following the distribution including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreements, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and the License, Development and Noncompetition Agreement. In accordance with these agreements, Wyndham Hotels assumed one-third and Wyndham Destinations assumed two-thirds of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company incurred prior to the distribution, including liabilities of the Company related to certain terminated or divested businesses, certain general corporate matters, and any actions with respect to the separation plan. Likewise, Wyndham Hotels is entitled to receive one-third and Wyndham Destinations is entitled to receive two-thirds of the proceeds from certain contingent and other corporate assets of the Company arising or accrued prior to the distribution. The Company conveyed the lease for its former corporate headquarters located in Parsippany, New Jersey to Wyndham Hotels, which resulted in the removal of a $66 million capital lease obligation and a $43 million asset. Wyndham Destinations entered into a transition service agreement with Wyndham Hotels, pursuant to which the companies agreed to provide each other certain transitional services including human resources, facilities, payroll, tax, information technology, information management and related services, treasury, finance, sourcing, and employee benefits administration on an interim, transitional basis. Matters Related to the European Vacation Rentals Business In connection with the sale of the Company’s European vacation rentals business, the Company and Wyndham Hotels agreed to certain post-closing credit support for the business for the benefit of certain credit card service providers, a British travel association, and certain regulatory authorities to allow them to continue providing services or regulatory approval to the business. Such post-closing credit support includes a guarantee of up to $180 million through June 30, 2019, and a letter of credit for $11 million through May 1, 2019, which may be extended. The fair value of such guarantee was approximately $2 million . The Company agreed to provide an additional $48 million in post-closing credit support, denominated in Pound sterling, to a British travel association and regulatory authorities by September 30, 2018, which is guaranteed by Wyndham Destinations in perpetuity. In connection with such additional post-closing credit support, Wyndham Destinations deposited approximately $48 million into an escrow account, which will be released to Wyndham Destinations to the extent alternative post-closing credit support is provided or otherwise will remain in place for the benefit of Compass IV Limited, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (the “Buyer”). The amount deposited in escrow reduced the gain on the sale of the business. If the Company provides acceptable alternative post-closing credit support to the Buyer, an additional gain on sale of the business will be recognized. Furthermore, Wyndham Hotels will receive one-third and Wyndham Destinations will receive two-thirds of any amount received in respect to the release of the escrow account. Such post-closing credit support may be called if the business fails to meet its primary obligation to pay amounts when due. The Buyer has provided an indemnity to Wyndham Destinations in the event that the post-closing credit support (other than the guarantee by Wyndham Destinations of up to $180 million ) are enforced or called upon. The Company also deposited $5 million into an escrow account, which amount will be returned to the Company on May 9, 2019, if the gross limit of Barclays Bank PLC’s (“Barclays”) Pound sterling cash pooling arrangement with the Buyer remains at least £10 million ( $14 million ) and security is not required or demanded by Barclays. If any further security is required or demanded by Barclays, the Company must pay an additional £1 million ( $1.4 million ) into escrow. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Buyer against certain claims and assessments, including income tax, value-added tax and other tax matters, related to the operations of the European vacation rentals business for the periods prior to the transaction. The estimated fair value of the indemnifications totaled $43 million . Wyndham Hotels provided certain post-closing credit support primarily for the benefit of a British travel association in the form of guarantees which are primarily denominated in Pound sterling of up to an approximate $81 million on a perpetual basis. The fair value of such guarantees was $41 million at June 30, 2018. Wyndham Destinations is responsible for two-thirds of these guarantees. Wyndham Hotels is required to maintain minimum credit ratings of Ba2 for Moody’s and BB for S&P. If Wyndham Hotels drops below these minimum credit ratings, Wyndham Destinations would be required to post a letter of credit (or equivalent support) for the amount of the Wyndham Hotels guarantee. The estimated fair value of the guarantees and indemnifications for which Wyndham Destinations is responsible related to the sale of the European vacation rentals business totaled approximately $74 million and was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 2018. A receivable of approximately $16 million was included in other assets at June 30, 2018 representing the portion of these guarantees and indemnifications for which Wyndham Hotels is responsible.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Impairments	Impairments During May 2017, the Company performed an in-depth review of its operations, including its current development pipeline and long-term development plan. In connection with such review, the Company updated its current and long-term development plan to focus on (i) selling existing finished inventory and (ii) procuring inventory from efficient sources such as just-in-time inventory in new markets and reclaiming inventory from owners’ associations or owners. As a result, the Company’s management performed a review of its land held for VOI development. Such review consisted of an assessment on 19 locations to determine its plan for future VOI development at those sites. As a result of this assessment, the Company concluded that no future development would occur at 17 locations, of which 16 were deemed to be impaired. The Company performed a fair value assessment on the land held for VOI development which resulted in a $121 million non-cash impairment charge during the second quarter of 2017. In addition, the Company recorded a $14 million non-cash impairment charge relating to the write-off of construction in process costs at 6 of the 16 impaired locations. As a result, the Company reported a total non-cash impairment charge of $135 million , which is included within asset impairments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In conjunction with this review and impairment, in May 2017, the Company sold 3 of the 17 locations, as well as non-core revenue generating assets to a former executive of the Company for $2 million of cash consideration which resulted in a $7 million loss. The Company also has an agreement with the former executive to sell an additional 2 of the 17 locations for $2 million resulting in a $13 million non-cash impairment charge. Such transaction is to be completed no later than December 31, 2018. The $7 million loss and $13 million non-cash impairment charge on the expected sale were included within the total non-cash impairment charge of $135 million . The Company had $4 million of land classified as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 which was included within other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the land held for sale was determined by reviewing prices of comparable assets which were recently sold and by actual purchase and sale agreements for the assets to be sold which represents level 3 fair value measurements. The Company entered into a three year agreement with the former executive whereby such executive may assist the Company in selling the land held for sale. As part of such agreement, the former executive will be entitled to receive brokerage commissions upon the sale of land classified as assets held for sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company incurred a $ 5 million non-cash impairment charge related to the write-down of assets resulting from the decision to abandon a new product initiative at the Company’s vacation ownership business. This charge is recorded within asset impairments on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 18 — Separation-Related and Transaction-Related Costs , for discussion of 2018 impairment.

Related Party Transaction, Due from (to) Related Party [Abstract]
Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries	Separation-Related and Transaction-Related Costs On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of its hotel business. This transaction resulted in operations being held by two separate, publicly traded companies as discussed in Note 1 — Background and Basis of Presentation . Prior to the spin-off, the Company completed the sale of its European vacation rentals business. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company incurred $133 million and $163 million of expenses, respectively, in connection with the spin-off of the hotel business which are reflected within continuing operations and include related costs of the spin-off, of which $132 million and $161 million were related to stock compensation modification expense, severance and other employee costs offset in part by favorable foreign currency. In addition, these costs include certain impairment charges related to the separation including property sold to Wyndham Hotels. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , the Company incurred $72 million and $93 million of expenses, respectively, in connection with the hotel spin-off and $8 million and $19 million , respectively, related to the European vacation rentals business. These expenses are reflected within discontinued operations and include legal, consulting and auditing fees, stock compensation modification expense, severance, and other employee-related costs. Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries Matters Related to Cendant Pursuant to the Cendant Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company entered into certain guarantee commitments with Cendant and Cendant’s former subsidiary, Realogy. These guarantee arrangements primarily relate to certain contingent litigation liabilities, contingent tax liabilities, and Cendant contingent and other corporate liabilities, of which Wyndham Worldwide assumed 37.5% of the responsibility while Cendant’s former subsidiary Realogy is responsible for the remaining 62.5% . As a result of the Wyndham Worldwide separation, Wyndham Hotels agreed to retain one third of Cendant’s contingent and other corporate liabilities and associated costs; therefore, Wyndham Destinations is effectively responsible for 25% of such matters subsequent to the separation. Since Cendant’s separation, Cendant settled the majority of the lawsuits pending on the date of the separation. As of June 30, 2018 , the Cendant separation and related liabilities of $16 million are comprised of $13 million for tax liabilities, $1 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities and $2 million of liabilities where the calculated guarantee amount exceeded the contingent liability assumed at the separation date. These liabilities were recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company had $16 million of Cendant separation-related liabilities, which were recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Matters Related to Wyndham Hotels In connection with the spin-off of the hotel business on May 31, 2018, Wyndham Destinations entered into several agreements with Wyndham Hotels that govern the relationship of the parties following the distribution including the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreements, the Tax Matters Agreement, the Transition Services Agreement and the License, Development and Noncompetition Agreement. In accordance with these agreements, Wyndham Hotels assumed one-third and Wyndham Destinations assumed two-thirds of certain contingent and other corporate liabilities of the Company incurred prior to the distribution, including liabilities of the Company related to certain terminated or divested businesses, certain general corporate matters, and any actions with respect to the separation plan. Likewise, Wyndham Hotels is entitled to receive one-third and Wyndham Destinations is entitled to receive two-thirds of the proceeds from certain contingent and other corporate assets of the Company arising or accrued prior to the distribution. The Company conveyed the lease for its former corporate headquarters located in Parsippany, New Jersey to Wyndham Hotels, which resulted in the removal of a $66 million capital lease obligation and a $43 million asset. Wyndham Destinations entered into a transition service agreement with Wyndham Hotels, pursuant to which the companies agreed to provide each other certain transitional services including human resources, facilities, payroll, tax, information technology, information management and related services, treasury, finance, sourcing, and employee benefits administration on an interim, transitional basis. Matters Related to the European Vacation Rentals Business In connection with the sale of the Company’s European vacation rentals business, the Company and Wyndham Hotels agreed to certain post-closing credit support for the business for the benefit of certain credit card service providers, a British travel association, and certain regulatory authorities to allow them to continue providing services or regulatory approval to the business. Such post-closing credit support includes a guarantee of up to $180 million through June 30, 2019, and a letter of credit for $11 million through May 1, 2019, which may be extended. The fair value of such guarantee was approximately $2 million . The Company agreed to provide an additional $48 million in post-closing credit support, denominated in Pound sterling, to a British travel association and regulatory authorities by September 30, 2018, which is guaranteed by Wyndham Destinations in perpetuity. In connection with such additional post-closing credit support, Wyndham Destinations deposited approximately $48 million into an escrow account, which will be released to Wyndham Destinations to the extent alternative post-closing credit support is provided or otherwise will remain in place for the benefit of Compass IV Limited, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (the “Buyer”). The amount deposited in escrow reduced the gain on the sale of the business. If the Company provides acceptable alternative post-closing credit support to the Buyer, an additional gain on sale of the business will be recognized. Furthermore, Wyndham Hotels will receive one-third and Wyndham Destinations will receive two-thirds of any amount received in respect to the release of the escrow account. Such post-closing credit support may be called if the business fails to meet its primary obligation to pay amounts when due. The Buyer has provided an indemnity to Wyndham Destinations in the event that the post-closing credit support (other than the guarantee by Wyndham Destinations of up to $180 million ) are enforced or called upon. The Company also deposited $5 million into an escrow account, which amount will be returned to the Company on May 9, 2019, if the gross limit of Barclays Bank PLC’s (“Barclays”) Pound sterling cash pooling arrangement with the Buyer remains at least £10 million ( $14 million ) and security is not required or demanded by Barclays. If any further security is required or demanded by Barclays, the Company must pay an additional £1 million ( $1.4 million ) into escrow. In addition, the Company agreed to indemnify the Buyer against certain claims and assessments, including income tax, value-added tax and other tax matters, related to the operations of the European vacation rentals business for the periods prior to the transaction. The estimated fair value of the indemnifications totaled $43 million . Wyndham Hotels provided certain post-closing credit support primarily for the benefit of a British travel association in the form of guarantees which are primarily denominated in Pound sterling of up to an approximate $81 million on a perpetual basis. The fair value of such guarantees was $41 million at June 30, 2018. Wyndham Destinations is responsible for two-thirds of these guarantees. Wyndham Hotels is required to maintain minimum credit ratings of Ba2 for Moody’s and BB for S&P. If Wyndham Hotels drops below these minimum credit ratings, Wyndham Destinations would be required to post a letter of credit (or equivalent support) for the amount of the Wyndham Hotels guarantee. The estimated fair value of the guarantees and indemnifications for which Wyndham Destinations is responsible related to the sale of the European vacation rentals business totaled approximately $74 million and was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 2018. A receivable of approximately $16 million was included in other assets at June 30, 2018 representing the portion of these guarantees and indemnifications for which Wyndham Hotels is responsible.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Background and Basis of Presentation Background Wyndham Destinations, Inc., formerly known as Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Wyndham Destinations” or the “Company”) is a global provider of hospitality services and products. The Company operates in two segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Rentals. The Vacation Ownership segment develops, markets and sells vacation ownership interests (“VOIs”) to individual consumers, provides consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts. The Exchange & Rentals segment provides vacation exchange services and products to owners of VOIs and manages and markets vacation rental properties primarily on behalf of independent owners. On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the previously announced spin-off of its hotel business into a separate publicly traded company, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Wyndham Hotels”). This transaction was effected through a pro rata distribution of the new hotel entity’s stock to existing Wyndham Destinations shareholders. In connection with the spin-off, the Company entered into certain agreements with Wyndham Hotels to implement the legal and structural separation, govern the relationship between the Company and Wyndham Hotels up to and after the completion of the separation, and allocate various assets, liabilities and obligations, including, among other things, employee benefits, intellectual property and tax-related assets and liabilities between the Company and Wyndham Hotels. The two public companies have entered into long-term exclusive license agreements to retain their affiliations with one of the industry’s top-rated loyalty programs, Wyndham Rewards, as well as to continue to collaborate on inventory-sharing and customer cross-sell initiatives. On May 9, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its European vacation rentals business. For all periods presented, the Company has classified the results of operations for its hotel business and its European vacation rentals business as discontinued operations. See further detail in Note 6 — Discontinued Operations . Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the accounts and transactions of Wyndham Destinations, as well as the entities in which Wyndham Destinations directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to comply with newly adopted accounting standards. See further detail in Note 2 — New Accounting Pronouncements . The Company changed its balance sheet presentation from classified (distinguishing between short-term and long-term accounts) to unclassified (no such distinction) in the second quarter of 2018. This change was prompted by the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels at which time the Company became predominantly a real-estate timeshare company. This presentation will conform to that of the Company’s peers within the timeshare industry. Both the December 31, 2017 and the June 30, 2018 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been presented in an unclassified format. In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates, by their nature, are based on judgment and available information. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. In management’s opinion, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim results reported. The results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year or any subsequent interim period. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2018 .
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Leases. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for lease accounting. This guidance along with its subsequent corresponding updates requires companies generally to recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Progress continues with our implementation efforts, including the evaluation of the impact that adoption of this new guidance will have on our financial statements and disclosures. We expect that the new guidance for lease accounting will have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. The guidance requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the current two-step goodwill impairment test by eliminating Step 2 of the test. The guidance requires a one-step impairment test in which an entity compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for the interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance intended to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The guidance will expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Reporting Comprehensive Income - Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance allowing for the reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Stock Compensation - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In June 2018, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify nonemployee share-based payment accounting. This new guidance will more closely align the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the statement of financial position. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective transition method. This new guidance had a minimal impact on the Company’s continuing operations. Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This guidance requires the modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required, which resulted in a cumulative-effect change to retained earnings of $19 million . Clarifying the Definition of a Business . In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the definition of a business, which assists entities when evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of businesses or assets. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. There was no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Compensation - Stock Compensation. In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. There was no material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Statement of Cash Flows . In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidance requires the retrospective transition method and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required. Restricted Cash . In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance which requires amounts generally described as restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending amounts for the periods shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018, as required, using a retrospective transition method. The impact of this guidance resulted in escrow deposits and restricted cash being included with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
