Not sure if this is a new angle to sale more points to get you to VIP, but here it is:

Cost to make your reservation was $30 (refunded), breakfast catered by IHOP

Make an additional purchase and get "plus partners". Move points to Plus Partners RCI nightly stay option (page 262-263 of the membership guide), pay the $278 for 14 days, and make your reservations using significantly fewer points. A 2BR during prime is 205,000 points. Reservations can be made 10 months out. This of course is under the assumption that the locations you want are available through RCI.

I have part developer points and part resale. We did not get to discussions on specific offerings to me, as our allotted 60 minutes ran out. I got the "this offering is through the 16th" then prices go way up! We were like, no, sorry, not today, and were on our way.

This is "puffery" by sales aka a "sales lie".

No purchase is required to take advantage of this "deal". RCI membership is included with your Club Wyndham ownership - it is part of the program fee - even for resale owners.

And every Club Wyndham member can book a week inside the RCI Express window (30 days from check-in) using the points discount.
And every Club Wyndham member can book Extra Holidays weeks thru RCI - not using points - for cash. Availability and price varies greatly - but they frequently have sales where full weeks can be booked for as low as $179-329. But these are "excess" weeks and not usually prime locations. As you note - subject to availability.

Again - all standard options available to all Club Wyndham members (even resale).

Just more sales spin. Good for you for getting out as soon as your time was up, and coming back here to be "deprogrammed". :D
