Yes but Wyndham's started out very low too.
Thanks for letting me know. Wonder how Hilton's buyout of Diamond will change fees.

Did they lower it? They’ve charged me $35 for guest certificates in the past.

I only got charged $25. Methinks with enrolling all DRI members into Destination Xchange supposedly for free, some fees decreased. I noticed my MF increased by $25 over last year though.

It was $35 after the free ones. You may be correct though. Of course, the best way to avoid the Guest Certificate fee is to make family members or friends who you give time to often Associate Members. Booking for an Associate Member does not require a Guest Certificate as they are essentially a member of your account (up to and including their own log in if they want).
