I think I get it. To me, 7000 points is better (of course) than 5000 points if the MFs are the same. Whether one is Gold or Platinum doesn't matter, its a label of sorts.

Gold or platinum matters when you buy the timeshare. If you buy 7.000 points it is per definition platinum points and 5.000 points is per definition gold points. You can’t get 7.000 points as gold points.

The gold and platinum refers to the season which you own in and if you want to book home season then you can only book in platinum season. If you want to stretch your points you need to wait to club seasons opens (usually 9 months out)

Yes but it is a label that hits you in the pocket book. Make sure you look at what the underlying week is that is generating the points. Some people think 5000 points vs 4800 points what is the difference, none right? But that is so far from the truth. On a 5000 points week you like have a gold 2 BR and will be paying a MF on a 2 BR unit. The 4800 point week you likely have a platinum 1 BR and will ONLY be paying MF on a 1 BR for roughly the same point value. With Plus and Premium and other room classifications it is not always straight forward what you are buying, make sure you know.
