Hello,
I attended the "Owners update" at BCR and was told "something like this... correct as needed"
1) Buy a contract to "ACTIVATE" my account.
- The sell was I made a good investment into Wyndham, but I am paying FULL PRICE for what I should be using 25% less in points if I was VIP
2) Options I was told to "activate" my account
a) Buy an acct and they would give me VIP for 2 years @ which time, I could continue to add accts until I reached VIP
**** THIS IS THE OPTION I WANTED TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THE GROUP:b) Buy an Wyndham acct and buy a 2bed room from any other TimeShare (non-Wyndham) that would trade in RCI. Yes, I would be paying a maintance fees with another TS resort and RCI fee of approx. $89 to convert to points.
- If I did this, the sales person advised that Wyndam would convert the points to Wyndham points and these points would count toward VIP status. The more 2BRs you have (approx. 2) could get you to Gold VIP.
*Even told me to purchase the non-Wyndham TS from Ebay as I advised them the price didn't make sense because all I am paying today is Maintenance Fees. They would be asking me to buy a contract @$10K + maintenance Fees.
- I questioned, the not so good value of $10K would buy me more than 108k points on the resale market
For me the only benefits that I would ever look for are:
- Check-in Early
- Upgrades
- No housekeeping fees for reservations (just got hit with 3 sets (@60+ pts ea) for having to continue to look for a reservation - never opened up so couldn't cancel and rebook
- Few guest reservations
**Just hasn't totaled $10K value in my mind yet...Am I missing something?
Is this option true or is this another day of smoke signals going in the air? Has anyone done this successfully?
