Is there a way to get to presidential reserve without buying PR. Like by the number of points?

Ok thank you. I was afraid you would say that.No. PR is an ownership type, like CWA or CWS, it’s not a VIP level so it’s not about how many points you own. That said, I do believe you must purchase at least 1MM PR points for eligibility.

When we spoke with one of the sales reps. He said you can take part of your PR and split it and both would be OR, ie you have 1,200,000 points, give 200,000 to a relative and they both would be PR. Has anyone else heard this.
What is the $ amount Wyndham is asking. I would love to see Wyndham's offer sheet on this. One thing for sure Wyndham math just never adds up.We are at the platinum level with all wyndham sale points
Would like to go to PR but the additional cash wyndham wants is more than we can afford, our want to spend since we already have so much invested already.

I honestly can't remember all the details. Just the bottom line of 60k. We are retired now and don't have the income we did when we started. I would love to have PR for the benefits of booking 12-14months out. Will keep my eyes open for any resales. Thank you all for your time and expertise.
Right of first refusal (ROFR) is a sales ploy to make a sale. Do you know anyone who sold their PR back to Wyndham?
I am a Presidential Reserve owner at Bonnet Creek. That lets me book 4BR Presidential units at Bonnet Creek fourteen months before check-in. To my way of thinking, that is the main benefit of my Presidential Reserve ownership. If something like that is important to you, you might pursue acquiring PR status.
I'm sure Wyndham can come up with a deal to take back some of your points and sell you a PR package at a PR resort. But, I think you already have a great ownership and need to do some serious thinking about PR and whether you need it.
The largest I can book is the 3 bedroom Deluxe
Additionally, the points were all slashed for some reason.
Example: 1 bedroom 187,000 points with a slash thru it and then another number, 139,000 points.
We have been told by Wyndham that building 6 (which has the PR units) will be under renovation starting after labor day. They hope to have it re-open by January 1, 2021. That may be why you can find PR units available at BC.I just went to look at booking Bonnet Creek to figure out how many points it'll cost me to book in the Value season. It won't even give me the option of the 1, 2, 3 or 4 bedroom Presidential. The largest I can book is the 3 bedroom Deluxe.
Is this because you need Presidential status or something? It's not just about points?

They must be offering some weird discount. Because it was 11 nights during value season in a 3 bedroom and came out to just over 220,000 points.
Which doesn't match up with the chart.
Why is there a 25% discount?If we assume a 3 bedroom deluxe in September - Tuesday through the following Saturday - 11 nights - that would be a week at 175k+21k+35k+35k+35k=301k*.75=225,750 points. Close to 220k, so perhaps they're offering a slightly higher discount at present, as 26% discount comes to 222,740 points.
Why is there a 25% discount?
Is this always the case?
Ok, so, is my calculations correct that it I book a 4 bedroom presidential during value season for 11 nights, beginning on a Tuesday and ending on a Saturday it'll cost approximately 360,000 points? That's with no discountWyndham periodically offers discounts like this site unseen and unannounced. It might be sponsored by the local resort as opposed to Wyndham itself in some cases, which is why it may not be listed under the Deals for Owners section. Right now, there's a 25% discount listed but only up through April 30, but I booked into WBC the last week in May for the same 25% discount (or thereabouts), and you are seeing the same approximate 25% discount well into the fall. It's also worth mentioning that the 25% discount does not apply to Presidential units, or at least it did not for me. Screenshot below for reference. So, if you're only looking at Presidential/PR units, no discount is currently available.

I was looking for 12 nights in September. Starting on a Tuesday and ending on a Saturday. Only 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms came up.
