Still why did it take 8 hours?

Depends on the contract(s) involved, if someone is interested, ask the Wyndham Destinations sales office. I am interested in chasing a critter I do not think I can get. That is a 10,000 point old Fairfield point contract, preferably through Wyndham. They apparently are not offering the smallest of of the old contracts at this point. I was told they are going off to Club Wyndham Access.
So how much per thousand might a piggy-backed contract be?
Well they went down the PIC Express route with lots of misinformation. We caught it on the contract. So then we needed to change directions to get PIC Plus. So we PICed 508K points.
We got a Blue Thread offer which would get us to Gold. The jury is still out on that decision.
They can still rent or use their DVC contracts like they always did.So you were considering PIC'ing DVC? You can rent DVC for $13-16 per point fairly easily.

DVC can never be used with PIC plus. Only resorts that can be (but you don't have to) deposited into rci weeks. Hopefully the 2 resorts they used really are PIC plus eligible because if you find out too late then it could be too late to cancel the purchase contract and you still won't be VIP. Wydham doesn't make it their job to pre-determine if it is eligible. If you try to enroll a non rci weeks timeshare it will simply void the PIC contract but not the purchase contract.
Boy you lucked out there.Excellent point that sales person lost five (5) 60-90 minute sales presentation that day or is this the new norm for Wyndham?
Also, my spouse would never ever speak to me again after this.
Just because you use DVC or anything else for PIC doesn’t mean you have to actually exchange the week for Wyndham points.I don't understand why anybody would PIC DVC weeks. Wouldn't you buy a cheap time share and PIC that. The idea is pay less maintenance for your points, not more. DVC has expensive maintenance.

Very True!!! When I originally purchased the RCI Resorts that I eventually PIC'd, they were in points but they were deeded for weeks that I knew I'd use if I ever tired of using them for points. I converted them to weeks for the PIC program and now I plan on actually PIC'ing in 1 year and using them in the 2nd year. More Wyndham points in 1 year and a week I want to use at a specific resort the next year.The best PIC is one that you already use and continue to use as you did in the past but now you get credit towards VIP levels with Wyndham even if you never exchange your PIC for Wyndham points
To the OP are you now a happy camper after 8 hours & 53 minutes of this sales transaction ?
Good Move. Learn as much as you can about the PIC process. After you've done all of your research, learning from the PIC experiences of others, go to an update and get yourself to GOLD. I'm there via PIC and I have no regrets.No. Now I have to rescind and start over.

The two weeks I have in PIC Plus have never been deposited in RCI and exchanged for Wyndham points.
I just pay the $144 program fee on each 3bdr and receive my VIP Platinum treatment on my Wyndham purchased and resale points.
That's what they want, I'm convinced. Giving someone VIP benefits really does not cost Wyndham much. They want the sale and they want the MF payments. They also want happy customers and people who get VIP via PIC feel like they got a pretty good deal. VIP with a fairly small purchase is a heck of deal, IMHO.Or is the purchase and yearly fees enough of a profit?
Wow, I didn’t know that was an option - I always assumed you had to deposit your PIC week(s). Aside from the required developer purchase and yearly PIC fee, how does Wyndham benefit of you don’t actually deposit your weeks but still retain VIP status on your Wyndham points? Or is the purchase and yearly fees enough of a profit?
Our 3BR was done with a 105K purchase and that got us to Gold this year. The 2 BR was done with more than a 105K purchase but that was to get us to the magic number for Silver. I can't believe I'm admitting to buying from the developer, but, I bought with eyes wide open and I paid cash. I slept well after both purchases just as I've done after buying resales off EBay. I don't see ever getting to Platinum unless I can buy one of those discounted Developer resales that apparently were available at some point in the past.
