Wyndham Rewards program (by Jerry L.):

We are currently base level owners of a Wyndham time share, and are considering purchasing into a higher level of membership called Wyndham "Rewards". It appears that the primary added benefits are: 1) A high-payback Visa and Discounts program, where credit card purchases give you points, then points can be converted to Visa gift cards (which can be used to buy anything). Payback then gets used to offset monthly maintenance fees. 2) Ability to reserve at any resort 13 months in advance, as opposed to doing this only at the resort we own. Does anyone have first hand experience with being in this program? Can you tell us if the purchase cost (in our case, $16K) has been worthwhile with the added benefits? As best we can tell, the $16K for us can be recouped in 8 or 9 years given the cash back on use of the credit purchases program. Thanks!
