Do you book more then 10 months out? How often? You get on additional RARP over Platinum. Also, how much longer do you think you’ll be traveling? If you think it’s less then 5-10 years, it might not be worth upgrading. They could increase the levels, but the last change was 2020. The time before that was 2012. So there is a long gap between the changes. You also get More time and better conversion to Wyndham rewards points, if that’s something that interests you. They could add benefits down the road too that would be exclusive to founders in an effort to get people to upgrade. Like they did with RCI Auto deposit and the elevated Wyndham rewards conversion. They could also take away as well. It all boils down to what value you place on the added benefits. If you will be traveling for awhile, you’ll have an opportunity to get value out of those benefits to justify the $13k price tag. Personally I would if I were that close.
If you have not already, I would check with telesales to see what their best price it. Do so before the end of the year to get the best deals and bonuses. Right now, they are offering Wyndham rewards points in addition to the usual bonus points. I don’t do hotels often, but you can convert them to maintenance fee dollars. The highest I’ve heard was 310,000 Wyndham rewards points with a 400,000 point purchase. I’ve seen 210,000 for 200,000 point contracts. They might throw in 30,000 to 60,000 Wyndham rewards points with that 64,000 they are selling you. That alone wouldn’t be a reason to buy, but if you’re going to buy, do it before the end of the year when they are the most hungry for sales.
