Looking for some Wyndham wisdom

I bought in November and again recently. Same sales rep at telesales. If you don't trade anything in they can do matching bonus points. And there are rebate checks.
Can you provide more details on the amount of the rebate checks and how many years do you get the matching bonus points? Why not just insist on a lower Purchase price in lieu of the so called perks? Hopefully you didn't buy into the sales pitch of buying more points as a way to pay all maintenance fees?

As others have already said, if you want to have permanent PIC Plus contracts on your account, you'll have to make a developers purchase to do so, at least 49k points per PIC contract (max of 2 per account). Since you already own 300k points, if you were to add 508k via two 3 bedroom PIC properties, plus the developer points purchase, that would put you up to 508k+300k+98k=906k points minimum. If I were to consider your scenario, I would want to get up to VIPP - which requires 1.1MM points. That would mean purchasing 300k more points. At $150/1k - that would mean $45,000 for the developers point purchase, which is pretty steep. Only you can decide if it's worth it. VIPG, let's assume a two bedroom and a three bedroom PIC property, 254k+154k=358k+300k=658k. VIPG requires 800k points, so you would need to purchase 142k points. Again at $150/1k points, that would mean around $21,300 - or less than half of what VIPP would cost you. This assumes CWA points purchased via telesales - if you were to add more Midtown45 points, the cost/1k would be higher.


Do I ask Telesales about buying a PIC contract from them along with developer points?

Yes you can work with telesales on PIC contracts - but you will have to find the non-Wyndham PIC properties yourself. Wyndham may make some recommendations on certain PIC eligible resorts at best.

The bonus points that I got with my November purchase was the normal amount and type of bonus points typically offered with at new purchase. The bonus points are equal to the amount purchased. You have two years to use them . You do not pay MFs or other fees on the bonus points and they are listed as a separate contract.

What is rebate check about?
