I don't see your point about cancellations going back into inventory at 8AM the next day. This change was the biggest boon imaginable to renters like me.
It just takes checking for inventory from 7am - 11:45pm 7 days a week.

I bought 1,011,000 from Wyndham, bare minimum to get to VIP Platinum.

You don't need to watch the system if you already have the reservations and just cancel and rebook right away for the discount. Makes everyone else watch for that much time to catch your reservations before you get them back.

That's it! You got it! On day 60 before check-in, cancel the reservation and about 15 seconds later book the same reservation. I open two windows and run the search once before I cancel so it's ready to go. Plus, if there is the same reservation available, I don't have to sweat out the re-booking.
I've lost exactly one reservation out of maybe sixty re-bookings. That was a 3BR unit at Ocean Walk. Ocean Walk overbooks so my cancellation was sucked up to cover an overbooking.
I rebook several reservations (I just rebooked five at La Belle Maison in New Orleans for the BCS Championship), take the points and book something else (in this case, a 3BR Pres unit next May at Bonnet Creek for a repeat buyer). When that one gets to 60 days, I'll cancel and rebook it. I have ten reservations at La Belle Maison or Avenue Plaza for the NCAA Final Four. Rebooking those will let me get something in mid-summer. I have thirty-seven active reservations in Wyndham's system.
I do check for upgrades whenever I'm in the system but don't even come close to 7 AM to 10 PM. I do work!
So you're saying book five 2BR units and five 1BR units at 13 months? Then at the 60 day point, cancel the 2BR and immediately cancel and rebook the 1BR and grab the upgrade?To maximize your booking discounts especially when doing multiple reservations for busy times also book a 1 bedroom then you get the upgrade benefit as well as the 50% discount.

Good idea. I did that once but it was an accident!
They teach this technique at owner updates in an effort to sell more VIP ownerships
Ron is right, this is a major sales pitch at numerous locations for buying. It is absolutly a authorized release of the benifit by the Sales Staff. This pitch is usally done in conjunction with the buy more to rent either through extra holidays, or through the site sales staff, or on yourr own.
That does not mean the sales people actually think people will do it. Or that they care if Wyndham changes the rules. They will just change their approach and continue selling.
Drawing too much attention to a loophole is often a good way to get it closed.
If the renting of rci exchanges were allowed all the good weeks would be cherry picked.
It seems they already are - for RCI rentals! Why shouldn't owners who supply the inventory get the same right or everyone - INCLUDING RCI - should be prohibited from renting. As it is it's totally a one way street with owners the biggest losers. Make it fair and equal.
