We just ‘traded’ our 400,000 points In CWA for a 126,000 additional points and a deed at Grand Desert for $28,000. Thinking we may have been duped yet again. Were told the new Blue Thread offers more rental opportunities and flexibility than CWA. Anyone wanna jump in with any thoughts? We have until tomorrow to recind.

Yes, rescind. Having more points does not materially help with availability.

If by "more rental opportunities" you mean you would have greater ability to rent out Grand Desert, that is only partially true. Owning there would help you book prime weeks for resale, but you will also find the rental business is very competitive.

The only reason I can see that you might do this is if your goal is to be VIP and lower your maintenance fees. As Eric said there is a lot of competition in the Vegas rental market. I would still rescind as $28k for only 126,000 points seems like way too much. You shouldn't be paying over say about $17k or even less for that many points. You need to do some bargaining if you are going to buy.
