[Q=ken1193] After all, [Ovation is] a way for them to easily acquire absolutely free inventory --- and then sell it all over aqain (at full freight pricing) to others. Wyndham knows full well that they can just shut down Ovation anytime they choose if or when they decide that that they have taken back all the inventory that they want to deal with. If I was an owner in Wyndham (which I am not) and wanted out, I frankly would POUNCE on Ovation. I would not drag my feet and wait too long, only to see the door suddenly closed --- at which point it's "you snoozed, you lose". To each their own, of course.[/Q] Excellent post, excellent advice. We POUNCED about 18 months ago -- and got the three years worth of "free" (as in "Have a Free Lunch, Sucker!") points -- and have never looked back. Readers of your piece are strongly advised to do what you say: Don't drag your fee and wait too long because the Ovation door may close very suddenly.
