Hi everybody. I found this site years ago when I was considering buying resale points. Then life changed.
Here's the deal:
My parents own a little over 500,000 Wyndham points. (Developer points, that what it's called when they paid retail, right?). They're VIP. (I don't know what kind of vip, as I've seen vipp and some other terms on here.) They are preparing they're wills and wants to split the points between my sibling and me. And I'm not sure if we should accept them. (I have another question about vip, but I'll make another thread for it.)
We're still a family with a lot of kids, so money is money (MFs are a big consideration), small rooms are cramped, and the last-minute discount (60 days?) is essential. Pluis, I'm worried that if it doesn't fit us when it's our own timeshare instead of my parents', we won't be able to escape from under it without paying a bunch of money to sell it. So here's my questions:
1. Are there points resorts with cheaper MFs than Wyndham?
2. With only 250K points, or less, do I get any discount at the 60 day mark? (Or is that only a vip perk?)
3. Does ownership of wyndham allow me to take advantage of any other super cheap travel deals like any other wyndham deals, or the last-minute RCI stuff I read about (not sure what it's called)?
Regarding number 3, Vacations where I have to attend a sales presentation don't count. We went to exactly ONE of those, years ago as broke newlyweds while vacationing on my parents' points. That was the last time EVER.
Thanks for your help.
