Colonies at Williamsburg (PIC Plus)
CWA VIP Gold (718k EY)
National Harbor Resale (689k)
All, just joined this forum a few minutes ago and am looking for some advice over this weekend. We were just vacationing in Myrtle Beach and ended up purchasing 126k annual points from Wyndham Destinations via one of their presentations, plus 174000 bonus points all effective 10/1/2018, plus two vacation weeks through RCI, and 45000 Wyndham rewards points good for three free days at any of their hotels/resorts.
We are still within the five day cancellation period and while my wife very much wanted to do the deal, I’m trying to determine if we should consider cancellation and then going a different route to accomplish the same thing. I’m not sure of the forum rules here so I don’t want to post pricing unless we are allowed to do so (anyone?), but am happy to share what we paid for this package if allowable.
Also happy to share any additional details that I can provide as well - so feel free to ask questions. Many thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT: we have full Wyndham VIP membership thrown in through 2020, along with permanent RCI membership, Club Wyndham Plus assignment, ARP for 66 resorts within the contracted resort network, etc.
We liked the concept of some of the VIP benefits but did not want to commit to the alleged 400k point barrier required to gain permanent VIP status right out of the gate.
Basically what I did not have time to determine is if it is possible to somehow obtain VIP via a resale purchase as opposed to a developer purchase. Of course the sales folks said not possible, but of course they would say that to get the sale. They also said that any benefits we earned as a result of a developer purchase would then also apply to a resale purchase, any truth to this? I’m very suspect of the entire sales process hence my questions.
What is a decent developer points purchase rate for Wyndham Vacation Ownership Club? They rate them on a per 1000 points basis on the contract from what we saw during negotiations. I did my best to listen to others nearby and it seemed as though no one was seeing anything under $145/1000 developer points.
