What to do with expiring points for 6/30/09?

[BocaBum99 Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close BocaBum99]

I purchase some Wyndham points that just closed this week. I have a bunch of points that expire on June 30, 2009. My only option is to book reservations or deposit them with RCI.

Given this late date, if I deposit with RCI, will a visible or non-visible deposit have better trading power? Given they are expiring, they should be worthless.

Anyone have info?

Not an answer, but a question.

Do you have contracts in that account with different use years.?

No visible power is the same for all.

Have you try to book some trip with those point and cancel it or use the trip actually?

If it would have closed a week earlier, I would have booked a ressie and the cancelled. It would have gone back to 2009 points expiring Dec 31. No such luck. We are in the 15 day window.

Yes, forget the day we are. I guess you can just deposit for generic week.

I forgot the 15 day window also.

I have once recently seen a reference that if booked within 15 days and cancelled the same day as booked returned as cancelled points.

I use to test such things but no longer do so.
