Wyndham Points (by Lance C.):

We were discussing purchasing points for other travel through out the year. How many points should we consider purchasing if we are looking for 7 - 10 extra days a year? And does it matter where the wyndham resort originates?

First of all, I would check E-Bay to see if any units that are already converted to points are being offered for sale or giveaway. If you want 7-10 extra days per year, that would depend on a number of factors: the size of the unit, the location, time of year, the actual resort, even the day(s) of the week that you are checking in. For instance, a 1-BR unit will need fewer points at the same resort than a 2-BR unit.

As for where the resort originates, I am not too sure but you might want to calculate the maintenance fees to points ratio. For instance, if you buy a unit at one resort that yields you 50,000 points, your maintenance fees could be significantly higher or lower than a similar unit at another resort yielding you the same number of points.
