bob2001 said "Amazingly, points work for those who bought on the resale market at 20 cents on the dollar in order to rent - if they built a sufficiently large portfolio, they can get the prime weeks (via Premier and Premier Plus reservation advantage) and rent them out at prime prices." I disagree it will work for them. If someone has aquired 20 units most/all as LO on the resale market to trade into better resorts/units and can get 30-40 reservations thru weeks, but now can only get 6 units thru points, the maintenance on the 20 units compared to the rental revenue for 6 units, no matter how prime, will not work out. And since the 20 LO unit owner was securing 30-40 weeks, there's no way 6 prime weeks can generate the revenue the 30-40 previously were. I'm making a very loose example based on bob2001's statement he had 20 units which can secure 6 prime unit thru points. I believe my example is pretty accurate though.
