Pic points answer
Our Pic points are always one year from the date the PIC points hit our account. We have 10 months from the check in date of our interval to decide to PIC it and then per the directory pg 299 (yes, I pulled it out and read it), we have one year from the date the points HIT our account, which is usually several weeks later. This is based on the exact date and not rounded to the nearest month end. So we have seen some pretty weird use year's in our account. In one of our cases, the week is a December Ski week, we usually PIC it in Feb, the point are usually in our acct by early March. We have one PIC unit that is a floating 1-52. So I suppose, if we wanted to, we can finagle a different use year based on that. But I think in the end, Wyndham is going to align this similiar to point pooling where the cancelled points end up in the earliest years.
I do see people's arguements and reasons for having the various use years. I think that if you win the battle, what will happen is that instead of the cancelled points rolling forward, they will roll back into the earliest use year.
I think that instead of just changing everyone's use year automatically to calendar year, they should have allowed each account owner to select their preferred use year and then move the other contracts accordingly. This would have been more owner friendly.

Here's your answer about what Wyndham will do with the Pic points.
I am not sure if the dates below apply to just me, or if others will get a similar letter after they PIC their week. I just recently PIC'd mine in the last 2-4 weeks.
