Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background and Basis of Presentation	Background and Basis of Presentation Background Wyndham Destinations, Inc. 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 August 7, 2019, the Company acquired Alliance Reservation Network (“ARN”). The results of this business are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. See Note 5 — Acquisitions for additional details. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company decided to explore strategic alternatives for its North American vacation rentals business and on July 30, 2019, entered into an agreement for the sale of this business. The assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. See Note 7 — Held-for-Sale Business for further details. This business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation; therefore, the results are reflected within continuing operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of this business. See Note 26 — Subsequent Events for additional details. During 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Spin-off”) and the sale of its European vacation rentals business. The prior period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to reflect the results of the hotel business and 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 . In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses 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 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2019 . New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for lease accounting. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all lease obligations and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, such as the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach; therefore, the Company used the transition method practical expedient under ASU 2018-11 and prior year financial statements were not recast. As a result of the adoption, on January 1, 2019 the Company recognized $158 million of right-of-use assets and $200 million of related lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets were decreased by $42 million of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent balances reclassified from other liabilities. Both the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized upon adoption included $21 million associated with the Company’s held-for-sale business. Right-of-use assets are included within Other assets and the related lease liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the income statement related to existing leases; therefore a cumulative-effect adjustment was not recorded. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact consolidated net income, liquidity or compliance with our debt covenants under our current agreements. See Note 16 — Leases for more information. Implementation Costs in Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 more closely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 with no material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements	Background and Basis of Presentation Background Wyndham Destinations, Inc. 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 August 7, 2019, the Company acquired Alliance Reservation Network (“ARN”). The results of this business are reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. See Note 5 — Acquisitions for additional details. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company decided to explore strategic alternatives for its North American vacation rentals business and on July 30, 2019, entered into an agreement for the sale of this business. The assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. See Note 7 — Held-for-Sale Business for further details. This business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation; therefore, the results are reflected within continuing operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. On October 22, 2019, the Company completed the sale of this business. See Note 26 — Subsequent Events for additional details. During 2018, the Company completed the spin-off of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (“Spin-off”) and the sale of its European vacation rentals business. The prior period Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to reflect the results of the hotel business and 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 . In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses 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 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2019 . New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for lease accounting. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all lease obligations and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, such as the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach; therefore, the Company used the transition method practical expedient under ASU 2018-11 and prior year financial statements were not recast. As a result of the adoption, on January 1, 2019 the Company recognized $158 million of right-of-use assets and $200 million of related lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets were decreased by $42 million of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent balances reclassified from other liabilities. Both the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized upon adoption included $21 million associated with the Company’s held-for-sale business. Right-of-use assets are included within Other assets and the related lease liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the income statement related to existing leases; therefore a cumulative-effect adjustment was not recorded. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact consolidated net income, liquidity or compliance with our debt covenants under our current agreements. See Note 16 — Leases for more information. Implementation Costs in Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 more closely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 with no material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

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 consumer financing in connection with the sale of VOIs and provides property management services at resorts. 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”). These reimbursable costs principally relate to the payroll costs for management of the associations, club and resort properties where the Company is the employer and are reflected as a component of Operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 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. Property management fee revenues are recognized when the services are performed and are recorded as a component of Service and membership fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Property management revenues, which are comprised of management fee revenue and reimbursable revenue, were $178 million and $172 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively, and $519 million and $497 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . 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. Estimated net contract consideration payable by affiliated clubs for memberships is 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. The Company also derives revenue from facilitating bookings of travel accommodations for both members and non-members. Revenue is recognized when these transactions have been confirmed, net of expected cancellations. 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 until the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied. The primary performance obligation for the program relates to brand performance services. Total contract consideration is estimated and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term. The Company’s vacation rental brands derive revenue from fees associated with the rental of vacation rental properties managed and marketed by the Company 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. Other Items The Company records property management services revenues and RCI Elite Rewards revenues for its Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Rentals segments in accordance with the guidance for reporting revenues gross as a principal versus net as an agent, which requires that these revenues be recorded on a gross basis. 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows: Contract Liabilities (a) September 30, December 31, 2018 Deferred subscription revenue $ 212 $ 220 Deferred VOI trial package revenue 140 125 Deferred VOI incentive revenue 108 96 Deferred exchange-related revenue (b) 56 56 Deferred co-branded credit card programs revenue 20 14 Deferred other revenue 9 8 Total $ 545 $ 519 (a) There is $36 million and $42 million of deferred vacation rental revenue included in Liabilities of held-for-sale business on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for 2019 and 2018 , respectively. (b) Balance includes contractual liabilities to accommodate members for cancellations initiated by the Company due to unexpected events. These amounts are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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 represents 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 represents billings and payments received in advance of a customer’s rental stay which are generally recognized as revenue within one year . Changes in contract liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 follow: Amount Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2018 $ 519 Additions 305 Revenue recognized (279 ) Contract liabilities as of September 30, 2019 $ 545 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. These capitalized costs were $52 million as of September 30, 2019 and $45 million as of December 31, 2018 , and are included within Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , these capitalized costs were $20 million , and $22 million , respectively. In addition, there were $2 million of these capitalized costs included within Assets of held-for-sale business on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019 . 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 prior to 2015, 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: 10/1/2019 - 9/30/2020 10/1/2020 - 9/30/2021 10/1/2021 - 9/30/2022 Thereafter Total Subscription revenue $ 122 $ 49 $ 22 $ 19 $ 212 VOI trial package revenue 140 — — — 140 VOI incentive revenue 108 — — — 108 Exchange-related revenue 50 4 1 1 56 Co-branded credit card programs revenue 4 3 3 10 20 Other revenue 9 — — — 9 Total $ 433 $ 56 $ 26 $ 30 $ 545 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 Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Vacation Ownership Vacation ownership interest sales $ 528 $ 503 $ 1,384 $ 1,323 Property management fees and reimbursable revenues 178 172 519 497 Consumer financing 132 126 385 363 Fee-for-Service commissions — 4 12 23 Ancillary revenues 20 15 51 45 Total Vacation Ownership 858 820 2,351 2,251 Exchange & Rentals Exchange revenues 158 158 498 512 Vacation rental revenues 60 61 146 146 Ancillary revenues 32 24 72 69 Total Exchange & Rentals 250 243 716 727 Corporate and other Ancillary revenues (1 ) — 1 — Eliminations (2 ) (1 ) (6 ) (2 ) Total Corporate and other (3 ) (1 ) (5 ) (2 ) Net revenues $ 1,105 $ 1,062 $ 3,062 $ 2,976

Excludes 0.6 million and 0.2 million of anti-dilutive RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Includes unvested dilutive RSUs which are subject to future forfeiture. (b) Excludes 0.2 million performance-vested restricted stock units (“PSUs”) for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , as the Company has not met the required performance metrics. These PSUs could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. As a result of the Spin-off of Wyndham Hotels during the second quarter of 2018, the Company accelerated the vesting of outstanding PSUs. There were no outstanding PSUs as of September 30, 2018 . (c) Excludes 1.1 million and 1 million outstanding stock awards that would have been anti-dilutive to EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , and 0.8 million and 0.4 million of anti-dilutive outstanding stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . These outstanding stock awards could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.

Vacation Ownership Contract Receivables [Abstract]
Vacation Ownership Contract Receivables	Vacation Ownership Contract Receivables The Company generates vacation ownership contract receivables by extending financing to the purchasers of its VOIs. Vacation ownership contract receivables, net consisted of: September 30, December 31, Vacation ownership contract receivables: Securitized $ 2,988 $ 2,883 Non-securitized 897 888 Vacation ownership contract receivables, gross 3,885 3,771 Less: Allowance for loan losses 767 734 Vacation ownership contract receivables, net $ 3,118 $ 3,037 The Company’s securitized vacation ownership contract receivables generated interest income of $103 million and $303 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and $93 million and $268 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. Such interest income is included within Consumer financing revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company originated vacation ownership contract receivables of $1.16 billion and $1.13 billion , respectively, and received principal collections of $696 million and $674 million , respectively. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding vacation ownership contract receivables was 14.3% and 14.1% as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 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, 2018 $ 734 Provision for loan losses 373 Contract receivables write-offs, net (340 ) Allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2019 $ 767 Amount Allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2017 $ 691 Provision for loan losses 350 Contract receivables write-offs, net (298 ) Allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2018 $ 743 The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $135 million and $373 million as a reduction of net revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $132 million and $350 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , 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 Fair Isaac Corporation (“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, 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 Club 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 September 30, 2019 700+ 600-699 <600 No Score Asia Pacific Total Current $ 2,049 $ 1,085 $ 188 $ 138 $ 241 $ 3,701 31 - 60 days 23 35 20 4 2 84 61 - 90 days 13 21 16 3 1 54 91 - 120 days 11 16 16 3 — 46 Total $ 2,096 $ 1,157 $ 240 $ 148 $ 244 $ 3,885 As of December 31, 2018 700+ 600-699 <600 No Score Asia Pacific Total Current $ 1,996 $ 1,041 $ 166 $ 135 $ 246 $ 3,584 31 - 60 days 22 35 18 6 2 83 61 - 90 days 15 22 13 3 1 54 91 - 120 days 12 17 16 4 1 50 Total $ 2,045 $ 1,115 $ 213 $ 148 $ 250 $ 3,771 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.

Fair Value Hedges During the first quarter of 2017, the Company entered into pay-variable/receive-fixed interest rate swap agreements on its 5.75% secured notes with notional amounts of $400 million . The fixed interest rates on these notes were effectively modified to a variable London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) based index. During 2019, the Company terminated these swap agreements resulting in a gain of $13 million which will be amortized over the remaining life of the secured notes as a reduction to Interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company had $13 million of deferred gains associated with this transaction as of September 30, 2019 , which are included within Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Maturities and Capacity The Company’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2019 matures as follows: Non-recourse Vacation Ownership Debt Debt Total Within 1 year $ 203 $ 41 $ 244 Between 1 and 2 years 241 251 492 Between 2 and 3 years 687 650 1,337 Between 3 and 4 years 221 761 982 Between 4 and 5 years 235 298 533 Thereafter 907 1,046 1,953 $ 2,494 $ 3,047 $ 5,541 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 September 30, 2019 , available capacity under the Company’s borrowing arrangements was as follows: Non-recourse Conduit Facilities (a) Revolving Credit Facilities (b) Total capacity $ 800 $ 1,000 Less: Outstanding borrowings 556 357 Less: Letters of credit — 20 Available capacity $ 244 $ 623 (a) Consists of the Company’s Sierra Receivable Funding Conduit II 2008-A facility. The capacity of this facility 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 facility. Debt Covenants The revolving credit facilities and term loan B are subject to covenants including the maintenance of specific financial ratios as defined in the credit agreement. 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 September 30, 2019 , our interest coverage ratio was 7.5 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 September 30, 2019 , 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 September 30, 2019 , we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants described above. Each of our non-recourse, securitized term notes, and the bank conduit facilities contain various triggers relating to the performance of the applicable loan pools. If the vacation ownership contract receivables pool that collateralizes one of our securitization notes fails to perform within the parameters established by the contractual triggers (such as higher default or delinquency rates), there are provisions pursuant to which the cash flows for that pool will be maintained in the securitization as extra collateral for the note holders or applied to accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal to the note holders. As of September 30, 2019 , all of our securitized loan pools were in compliance with applicable contractual triggers. Interest Expense During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company incurred interest expense of $40 million and $122 million , respectively, on debt excluding non-recourse vacation ownership debt, including an offset of $1 million and $2 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 $119 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , the Company incurred interest expense of $37 million and $129 million , respectively, on debt excluding non-recourse vacation ownership debt, including an offset of 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 $128 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Interest expense incurred in connection with the Company’s non-recourse vacation ownership debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $26 million and $78 million , respectively, and $23 million and $62 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, and is recorded within Consumer financing interest on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash paid related to such interest was $61 million and $41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . Transition from LIBOR The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR as an interest rate benchmark to other potential alternative reference rates, including but not limited to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Currently the Company has debt and derivative instruments in place that reference LIBOR-based rates. The transition from LIBOR is estimated to take place in 2021 and management will continue to actively assess the related opportunities and risks involved in this transition.

Variable Interest Entities

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: September 30, December 31, Securitized contract receivables, gross (a) $ 2,988 $ 2,883 Securitized restricted cash (b) 114 120 Interest receivables on securitized contract receivables (c) 25 23 Other assets (d) 3 3 Total SPE assets 3,130 3,029 Non-recourse term notes (e) (f) 1,938 1,839 Non-recourse conduit facilities (e) 556 518 Other liabilities (g) 7 3 Total SPE liabilities 2,501 2,360 SPE assets in excess of SPE liabilities $ 629 $ 669 (a) Included in Vacation ownership contract receivables, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. (b) Included in Restricted cash 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 $23 million and $21 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 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 $897 million and $888 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , 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: September 30, December 31, SPE assets in excess of SPE liabilities $ 629 $ 669 Non-securitized contract receivables 897 888 Less: Allowance for loan losses 767 734 Total, net $ 759 $ 823 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. As a result of a disruption to VOI sales caused by the impact of the hurricanes on Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in 2017, there was a change in the economics of the transaction due to a reduction in the fair value of the assets of the SPE. As such, the Company is now considered the primary beneficiary for specified assets and liabilities of the SPE, and therefore consolidated this SPE. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company made its final purchase of VOI inventory from the SPE, and the debt was extinguished. The assets and liabilities of the Saint Thomas Property SPE were as follows: December 31, Property and equipment, net $ 23 Total SPE assets 23 Debt (a) 32 Total SPE liabilities 32 SPE equity (deficit) $ (9 ) (a) Included $32 million relating to mortgage notes, which are included in Debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2018 . During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , the SPE conveyed $23 million and $17 million

Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
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. The Company’s derivative instruments currently consist of interest rate caps and foreign exchange forward contracts. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had foreign exchange contracts of $1 million which are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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. 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: September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Carrying Amount Estimated Fair Value Assets Vacation ownership contract receivables, net $ 3,118 $ 3,924 $ 3,037 $ 3,662 Liabilities Debt $ 5,541 $ 5,663 $ 5,238 $ 4,604 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 finance leases, using Level 2 inputs based on indicative bids from investment banks and determines the fair value of its secured notes using quoted market prices (such secured 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, the Canadian and Australian dollars and the 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 and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, the Company has used 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. The amount of gains or losses relating to contracts designated as cash flow hedges that the Company expects to reclassify from Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) 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 periodically uses financial derivatives to strategically adjust its mix of fixed to floating rate debt. The derivative instruments utilized include interest rate swaps which convert 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 fair value of the derivatives are recorded in income, with offsetting adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged debt. As of September 30, 2019 the company does not have any fair value interest rate hedges. Losses on derivatives recognized in AOCL for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years prior to 2015. In addition, with few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations for years prior to 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 28.0% during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 25.4% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to lower state income taxes and a tax benefit resulting from a post-separation internal restructuring. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased from 41.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 26.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the absence of non-cash tax charges in 2018 related to the sale of the European vacation rentals business and the separation of the hotel business, as well as, lower state income taxes in 2019. The Company made cash income tax payments, net of tax refunds, of $82 million and $101 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company also made cash income tax payments of $39 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulting from the sale of the Company’s European vacation rentals business. In addition, the Company made cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $10 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 related to discontinued operations.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	Leases The Company adopted the new Leases accounting standard as of January 1, 2019, resulting in the recognition of $158 million of right-of-use assets and $200 million of related lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets were decreased by $42 million of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent balances reclassified from other liabilities. Both the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized upon adoption included $21 million associated with the Company’s held-for-sale business. The new standard requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all lease obligations and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, such as the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach; therefore, prior year financial statements were not recast. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (i) whether contracts are leases or contain leases, (ii) lease classification and (iii) initial direct costs. We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases for our corporate headquarters, administrative functions, marketing and sales offices, and various other facilities and equipment. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses, lease incentives, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments. The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company also made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statement of income. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The majority of our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had right-of-use assets of $151 million and related lease liabilities of $198 million . Right-of-use assets are included within Other assets, and the related lease liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table below presents certain information related to the lease costs for finance and operating leases: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2019 2019 Operating lease cost $ 9 $ 28 Short-term lease cost $ 6 $ 18 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets $ — $ 1 Interest on lease liabilities — — Total finance lease cost $ — $ 1 The table below presents supplemental cash flow information related to leases: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 35 Operating cash flows from finance leases $ — Financing cash flows from finance leases $ 2 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases $ 17 Finance leases $ 2 The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet: Balance Sheet Classification September 30, 2019 Operating Leases: Operating lease right-of-use assets Other assets $ 151 Operating lease liabilities Accrued expenses and other liabilities $ 198 Finance Leases: Finance lease assets (a) Property and equipment, net $ 5 Finance lease liabilities Debt $ 4 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term: Operating leases 9.4 years Finance leases 2.9 years Weighted Average Discount Rate: Operating leases (b) 6.5 % Finance leases 4.2 % (a) Presented net of accumulated depreciation.

As a result, during the nine months ended September 2019, the Company recorded $12 million

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, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Wyndham Destinations Litigation The Company may be from time to time 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 and 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, whistleblower 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 and $14 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . Such reserves are exclusive of matters relating to the Company’s separation from Cendant, matters relating to the Spin-off of Wyndham Hotels and matters relating to the sale of the European vacations rentals business, which are discussed in Note 24 — Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries . 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 September 30, 2019 , the potential exposure resulting from adverse outcomes of such legal proceedings could, in the aggregate, range up to $46 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 9 — Inventory for additional details. For information on guarantees and indemnifications related to the Company’s former parent and subsidiaries see Note 24 — Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company has a stock-based compensation plan available to grant RSUs, PSUs, SSARs, non-qualified stock options (“NQs”) and other stock-based awards to key employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. The Wyndham Worldwide Corporation 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan was originally adopted in 2006 and was amended and restated in its entirety and approved by shareholders on May 17, 2018 (the “Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan”). Under the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, a maximum of 15.7 million shares of common stock may be awarded. As of September 30, 2019 , 13.8 million shares remain available. Incentive Equity Awards Granted by the Company During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , the Company granted incentive equity awards to key employees and senior officers totaling $26 million in the form of RSUs, $7 million in the form of PSUs and $5 million in the form of stock options. Of these awards, the NQs and majority of RSUs will vest ratably over a period of four years , and the PSUs will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date; contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance metrics. The activity related to incentive equity awards granted to the Company’s key employees and senior officers by the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted of the following: Balance, December 31, 2018 Granted Vested/Exercised Forfeitures (a) Balance, September 30, 2019 RSUs Number of RSUs 0.9 0.5 (0.3 ) (0.1 ) 1.0 (b) Weighted average grant price $ 50.54 $ 44.30 $ 53.65 $ 47.52 $ 46.32 PSUs Number of PSUs — 0.2 — 0.2 (c) Weighted average grant price $ — $ 44.38 $ — $ 44.38 SSARs Number of SSARs 0.2 — — 0.2 (d) Weighted average grant price $ 34.24 $ — $ — $ 34.24 NQs Number of NQs 0.8 0.6 — 1.4 (e) Weighted average grant price $ 48.71 $ 44.38 $ — $ 46.84 (a) The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. (b) Aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs was $42 million as of September 30, 2019 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years . (c) Maximum aggregate unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs was $6 million as of September 30, 2019 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years (d) There were 0.2 million SSARs that were exercisable as of September 30, 2019 . There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to SSARs as of September 30, 2019 as all SSARs were vested. (e) Unrecognized compensation expense for NQs was $9 million as of September 30, 2019 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years . The fair value of stock options granted by the Company during 2019 was estimated on the date of this grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the relevant weighted average assumptions outlined in the table below. Expected volatility was based on both historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s stock and the stock of comparable companies over the estimated expected life for options. The expected life represents the period of time these awards are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields on U.S. Treasury strips with a maturity similar to the estimated expected life of the options. The projected dividend yield was based on the Company’s anticipated annual dividend divided by the price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. Stock Options 2019 Grant date fair value $ 8.98 Grant date strike price $ 44.38 Expected volatility 29.97 % Expected life 6.3 years Risk-free interest rate 2.59 % Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $5 million and $17 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $12 million and $142 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , related to incentive equity awards granted to key employees, senior officers and non-employee directors. Such stock-based compensation expense included expense related to discontinued operations of $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Stock-based compensation expense of $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , and $9 million and $100 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, have been classified within Separation and related costs within continuing operations. The Company paid $4 million and $56 million of taxes for the net share settlement of incentive equity awards that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan During 2019, the Company implemented an employee stock purchase plan. This plan allows eligible employees to purchase common shares of company stock through payroll deductions at a ten percent discount off the fair market value at the grant date. The Company issued 0.1 million shares and recognized less than $1 million of compensation expense related to the first grant under this plan in June 2019.

Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company 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. During 2018, the Company decided to explore strategic alternatives for its North American vacation rentals business, which is currently part of its Exchange & Rentals segment and during the third quarter of 2019 the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of this business, which closed on October 22, 2019. The assets and liabilities of this business have been classified as held-for-sale. The reportable segments presented below represent the Company’s operating segments for which discrete financial information is available and which are 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. Management uses net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of the reportable segments. 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. 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 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.

Transactions with Former Parent and Former Subsidiaries	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 Corporation (“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 September 30, 2019 , the Cendant separation and related liabilities of $14 million are comprised of $12 million for tax liabilities and $2 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities. These liabilities were recorded within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company had $18 million of Cendant separation-related liabilities, which were recorded within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Matters Related to Wyndham Hotels In connection with the Spin-off 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 Destinations assumed two-thirds and Wyndham Hotels assumed one-third of certain contingent 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 Destinations is entitled to receive two-thirds and Wyndham Hotels is entitled to receive one-third of the proceeds from certain contingent corporate assets of the Company arising or accrued prior to the distribution. 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , transition service agreement expenses of $1 million and $2 million were included in General and administrative expense, and less than $1 million and $2 million were included in Separation and related costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Transition service agreement income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1 million , included in Other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , transition service agreement expenses were $3 million and $4 million , respectively, transition service agreement income was $2 million and $3 million . 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 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. Post-closing credit support may be called if the business fails to meet its primary obligation to pay amounts when due. Compass IV Limited, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (“Buyer”) has provided an indemnification to Wyndham Destinations in the event that the post-closing credit support is enforced or called upon. Such post-closing credit support included a guarantee of up to $180 million which expired on June 30, 2019. At closing, the Company agreed to provide additional post-closing credit support to a British travel association and regulatory authority. An escrow was established at closing, of which $46 million was subsequently released in exchange for a secured bonding facility and a perpetual guarantee of $46 million . The estimated fair value of the guarantee was $22 million as of September 30, 2019 . The Company established a $7 million receivable from Wyndham Hotels for its portion of the guarantee. In January 2019, the Company reached an agreement with the Buyer on certain post-closing adjustments, resulting in a reduction of proceeds by $27 million . In accordance with the separation agreement, the Company and Wyndham Hotels agreed to share two-thirds and one-third, respectively, in the European vacation rentals business' final net proceeds (as defined by the sales agreement), adjusted for certain items including the return of the escrow, post–closing adjustments, transaction expenses and estimated taxes. The Company paid $40 million to Wyndham Hotels in the second quarter of 2019. The Company also deposited $5 million into an escrow account for which all obligations ceased to exist on May 9, 2019. The escrow was returned to the Company in May 2019. 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 increased by $2 million to a total of $45 million at September 30, 2019 . The Company has a $15 million receivable from Wyndham Hotels for its portion of the guarantee. 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 estimated fair value of such guarantees was $39 million at September 30, 2019 . Wyndham Destinations is responsible for two-thirds of these guarantees. Wyndham Hotels is required to maintain minimum credit ratings of Ba2 for Moody’s Investors Service and BB for Standard & Poor’s Rating Services. 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, including the two-thirds portion related to guarantees provided by Wyndham Hotels, totaled $95 million and was recorded in Accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2019 . Total receivables of $23 million were included in Other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2019 , representing the portion of these guarantees and indemnifications for which Wyndham Hotels is responsible. The total change in expired guarantees and returned escrow offset by increased tax liabilities increased the gain on sale of the European vacation rentals business by $6 million during the second quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Buyer proposed certain post-closing adjustments of approximately $44 million which could serve to reduce the net consideration received from the sale of the European vacation rentals business. While the Company intends to vigorously dispute these proposed adjustments, at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the probability or amount of the potential liability owed to the Buyer, if any. Any actual liability would be split two-thirds and one-third between the Company and Wyndham Hotels, respectively, and the impact would be included in discontinued operations. Wyndham Destinations entered into a transition service agreement with the European vacation business, 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, and sourcing on an interim, transitional basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , transition service agreement expenses were $1 million and $2 million and transition service agreement income was $1 million and $2 million , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , transition service agreement expenses were $1 million and $3 million , respectively, and transition service agreement income was $1 million and $3 million , respectively. Transition service agreement expenses were included in General and administrative expense and transition service income was included in Net revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Related Party Transactions In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a former executive of the Company whereby the former executive through an SPE would develop and construct VOI inventory located in Orlando, FL. Subject to the property meeting the Company’s vacation ownership resort standards and provided that the property has not been sold to another party, the maximum potential future payments that the Company may be required to make under this commitment is $45 million .

Related Party Transactions	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 Corporation (“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 September 30, 2019 , the Cendant separation and related liabilities of $14 million are comprised of $12 million for tax liabilities and $2 million for other contingent and corporate liabilities. These liabilities were recorded within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In accordance with these agreements, Wyndham Destinations assumed two-thirds and Wyndham Hotels assumed one-third of certain contingent 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 Destinations is entitled to receive two-thirds and Wyndham Hotels is entitled to receive one-third of the proceeds from certain contingent corporate assets of the Company arising or accrued prior to the distribution. 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	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 . In presenting the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses 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 2018 Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2019 . Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance for lease accounting. The guidance requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all lease obligations and disclose key information about leasing arrangements, such as the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach; therefore, the Company used the transition method practical expedient under ASU 2018-11 and prior year financial statements were not recast. As a result of the adoption, on January 1, 2019 the Company recognized $158 million of right-of-use assets and $200 million of related lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets were decreased by $42 million of tenant improvement allowances and deferred rent balances reclassified from other liabilities. Both the right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities recognized upon adoption included $21 million associated with the Company’s held-for-sale business. Right-of-use assets are included within Other assets and the related lease liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the income statement related to existing leases; therefore a cumulative-effect adjustment was not recorded. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact consolidated net income, liquidity or compliance with our debt covenants under our current agreements. See Note 16 — Leases for more information. Implementation Costs in Cloud Computing Arrangements. In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance on implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 more closely aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2019 with no material impact to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Principals of consolidation	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.

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases for our corporate headquarters, administrative functions, marketing and sales offices, and various other facilities and equipment. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses, lease incentives, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments. The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company also made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the statement of income. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The majority of our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year.
