I've seen people attacked here for having the nerve to suggest they were happy they paid the extra to get VIP benefits. Some sites attract positive attitudes.. some are geared more toward negative. To each his own.
And here is where I get attacked....
If someone asks "did I get a good deal buying 105000 points from wyndham for $20000" and I say "no, given that the same thing could be had on ebay for $500, thats not a good deal" you ought to rescind
Or if someone asks "does it make sense to pay $150000+ to buy a Platinum membership, and I say "Platinum benefits are great, but not worth $150000, and more than that you can buy more points and get the same number of reservations for less than $10000 on the secondary market"... and then I go on to do the math showing that even paying the increased maintenance fees (on 2 million pts resale vs 1 million retail) you still do so much better
So if I say these things, am I attacking the guy that asked the question? I might even say that they made a stupid financial decision.... Is that an attack?... or is it negative? I dont think so.. Im speaking to the decision (and it was stupid) not the decision maker and Im using that decision to help others... at least thats my intent
