Yes, with emphasis on VERY frequent.
In previous years BW points lingered for sale for weeks. This year they won't come close to selling out. You are buying a 10% to 20% discount for a non-earning stay. You would have to be planning many, many BW stays to make the math work out well enough to risk devaluation.
