I was telling my partner... he'd have gotten it taken apart and working within a day I am sure, haha.
As bonus feature you can't lock pick one of those! Well I guess that's also not a benefit all the time...

Got another follow-up call. Apparently, everything is going up by $8 per point very soon(?)
They offered me a deal that was not as good as the last deal. And since prices are going up, it’s never going to happen. I’ll never be able to justify paying more than what was my best deal.
In the meantime:
We did sit for the IHG meeting, and believe it or not, we did buy at a low level. With all the DVC info fresh in my head, this was a much better deal and a much lower cash outlay - although, it’s obviously not good for Disney trips. Apparently, if you upgrade to a high level, you can use it at Disney as well. I’m not counting on that. We do need to mix up our trip destinations a bit more, anyway. Also, this deal never expires. Maintenance fees are low, and can be paid with points from their version of a credit card, which I haven’t decided whether or not to bother.
Update on that corporate BOA card with a 1.5% cashback: turns out since I am a certain level Customer, thanks to my business, I’m bumped up to about 2.4% cashback, which is pretty crazy. Thanks to @Touchdown for putting that thought in my head.

Correct, there is an $8/point bump coming February 10 for all properties except DL, which are rising $3/point.
