Hello,
This might be in the wrong spot. I know some SVC info is here since Wyndham bought them. I went to an update this morning. Usual stuff but my husband wasn’t traveling with me so I wasn’t expecting a hard sell. I have some developer points with SVC West that I have added to with a lot of resale points. But I’m not Signature level. Avoided that over the years because I never saw the “value”. I actually purchased and rescinded a few years ago after a sales pitch turned out to be flat out lies. But this time I was offered the chance to purchase enough to get to Signature level and have all points given “3rd Generation” status to be able to book across Wyndham and Shell properties. Now called Wyndham Destinations or something fancy like that.
I need 3450 developer points to move to the first level of Signature. I have 3550 developer and another 18,000 resale. They did offer me a package of just 1500 points which would allow all my points to be “grandfathered” in. We have a small, eoy contract with Wyndham that I want to unload and just keep the SVC package. I like Wyndham properties and would love to use the points I have to stay in them.
I walked away without a purchase and told them we would be back in 2 weeks so if my hubby was on board we would see them again. So my questions are simple, should I even consider this? Of course they were offering a package for $6.30 or so a point which is more than I will pay. I think I can get them down to under $5 a point. I am considering an investment of about $15-17k to get these points if the stats align. Am I crazy?
I’ve always wished that I knew more 10+ years ago so I would have invested in one TS system instead of the 3 I’m involved with now. I’ve also always hoped that I could use what I had with SVC to go where Wyndham was.
They were clear that my resale points would only work at certain properties and my developer points would have access to the others.
We have become very comfortable with SVC and how it works. I’ve often corrected sales people during presentations with info. We have mainly used the CA properties since we can drive to them and with younger kids that was our comfort level. But they are growing and we want to see more.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
