So I said this over in "the other topic" but I wanted to repeat it because it was likely missed. If you understand the product, and how to use it, and how to maximize your purchase, the Wyndham product is great. Before 154K of my points go poof, thanks to TUG and eBay, I have something like 516K points, which I paid a grand total of at most $1000 for including transfer fees, closing costs and deed prep. When my 154K points go poof, I'll likely get that back (or at least half of it), and still be left with 362K points. 
Anyway, to the point of this post. My average cost per 1K points is about $7.50/k, and will remain about the same come January 1. In June I had a 1 bedroom oceanview deluxe booked at Towers on the Grove and waitlisted a 2 bedroom deluxe oceanfront, which came up a few weeks ago, that I booked for 7 nights for 220k points. It'll be my annual daddy daughter trip to Myrtle while my daughter is out of school but her mother still has to work. Since I have to take off for child care, just the two of us go away.
So the point of all this is, since I know how to use the system, and the value of my points and what I can get, and how to use the products such as waitlist etc., I am getting a two bedroom oceanfront room, during school vacation time, in North Myrtle Beach, SC for what works out to $1650 or $236 a night, with no added tax, resort fees, parking fees, etc. There is no other way to get an oceanfront, 2 bedroom condo, with a washer and dryer, full kitchen and a balcony that opens up to the Atlantic Ocean during summer vacation. Even AirBnB is about $1800 a total, and, I'll be honest, I do not like AirBnB. I rather stay at a Wyndham where I know what amenities to expect, there's a gym, games, towels, blankets, TVs, W/Ds, etc. I dont need to stay in someone's vacation house with cheap Target sheets that feel like sandpaper, and bathrooms that haven't been updated since 1989.
Figured I'd post something positive for a change.
