Buying 10,000 Points Question?

[Steve Fatula]

I am looking at 2500 points, $1 per point all in costs seems to be ~ $10,000 or $4 all in per point. however finding $1 per point is a little more difficult than expected.

Persistence and patience might pay off. I am sure there are not a lot of them, yet. I expect the amount to grow though over time.

Keep at it. Someone who is hungry enough will take it. Not a lot of willing buyers out there right now,

If I buy points say 4 batches of 2500 to get to 10,000 points all with say same jan anniversary date does that make the most sense as the price per point is about $2.00 on redweek? or are there more enrollment fees to pay for each batch which would bring the price per point a lot higher? and it would make more sense to buy one batch of 10,000 points at $4.00 a point. We have 3 kids so hotel rooms are challenging...and with arbnb you aren't in a community with pool etc and they are hit or miss.
I know about renting the points etc but if we do it we would just take the plunge and not want to have to deal with renting each time. Thanks for the input! Bill

PS maint fees on points in 2020 are .645 ?

The previous posts give you some great information but let me thrown a wrinkle at you. 10K points resale at $1 per point plus fees is going to be around $40-45K and yearly around $6500. A hybrid package at say Aruba plus a good resale enrolled week might be more in the $60K range but yearly fees would be more like $4K (roughly depending on specifics). Even if you had to do 2 resale weeks plus the retail purchase to get to the total of 10K or more points it's still likely be cheaper long term and you'd probably have a few extra points. Even with the higher up front costs the long term costs would very likely be far less and you would potentially have additional options. Since you're starting from scratch you might also want to look at Spain weeks though I'm not as well versed in those as many here are.
