I challenge anyone to show me an advantage to the owners.

I am not a points owner and I don't have a very clear knowledge of the intricacies of points ownership and packages, but ones who are owners like the flexibility of points. For instance, you can stay for whatever number of days you want as opposed to a rigid week.

Also, if you own a 2-BR and for a stay, you only need one room, you can use the points from your 2-BR to get a 1-BR and then have some points left over. Or if you own in a high-demand week and you want to, instead, stay for a week during low demand, you can use your points and then have some left over for another stay.

Of course, it all depends on availability. And many detractors will argue that they can never get what they want or that the developers keep changing the amount of points required. But there are still these advantages and, believe it or not, there are some happy owners of points.
