Here are the actual numbers for my Summer reservations, all were VIP Discount some included the upgrades. If a calendar is checked, one might notice these include weekends. I will stay with the facts as related to me for my VIP Summer use this year. From strictly a financial point of view (ignore the subjective value of the Summer bookings), I will stay with the facts as they relate to my Summer VIP usage this year (all my reservations for the Summer months were through the VIP program). I will let the reader calculate my costs per thousand points used, my average percent discount, and if this is a typical example, the number of payback months/years need to make the continuing cost savings worth the initial investment. I would suggest this analysis be used in evaluating any given Wyndham New Purchase Offer. Most will not pass the muster. On a case by case basis, some might.
