Perks on Points bought on resale market?

New to this forum - first posting. Wish I had found it years ago.

Currently VIP with Wyndham - close to Gold. If we purchase points on the resale (secondary) market - such as eBay - will these points count toward Gold status? Any hints or experience on buying resale market points would be appreciated.

Sorry can't answer your question as I only own resale points but just wanted to welcome you to the forum.

No, it will not. You can use all the resale points for VIP discount, benefits. The only 2 things it can not do is 1) count on advance to various VIP level 2) exchange to Wyndham reward points (in theory).

What exactly are the VIP discount and the other benefits available? Please explain. I thought resale points carried no extras, no mattter how many I would own.
Thanks.

Suppose you own 300K "qualified" points, and another 200K resale points. You are VIP, not VIP Gold. But, all 500K points can be used in the discount window, etc. That is, of course, subject to change.
