We don't own points. Our point usage comes from enrolled legacy weeks. Until recently, I mostly just kept tabs on the MF's per point so I understood how to compare what I was paying per point when I exchanged my enrolled weeks.
Recent threads have been very educational about comparing the cost of buying points vs. buying weeks and hoping for an amnesty promotion.
One of the new threads on reselling points has been an eye opener about the condition that once points are transferred in a resale they then have to be enrolled. I've heard about this but didn't seriously keep track of the enrollment price.
I still don't really understand the concept of enrolling points. The mere fact that they're points means they have no value unless they can reserve nights at a property. Why then, when they are resold, do they have to be enrolled? Without enrollment, it appears resale points are less valuable than air.
I'm sure this has been much discussed. Please forgive me as I try to get a fuller grasp on the points vs. weeks resale market.
