Points are now much less attractive
It seems to me that all of the recent changes (the increase in fees and especially the prohibition on transferring or renting points) will discourage current owners from:
1. Buying more points (why get more when you have lost the flexibility to transfer them to friends/family or rent out the extra)
2. “Upgrading their memberships” (as Wyndham calls it)
3. Recommending Wyndham Fairshare points to friends and family
Will this not hurt future sales of the product? Wyndham points were attractive to me simply because they were so flexible and scalable and they have so many resorts. The “flexible and scalable” feature is fast disappearing.
