In an interesting post on a Yahoo Group one of the larger points based systems seems to be taking a new view of what the systems represent. Based on the quote it seems buyers aren't purchasing use rights but rather being accepted or permitted to use the system as you would be an American Express card member or meeting the qualifications to get a drivers license. I certainly had never considered any points based system to be culling those that didn't meet their standards - unless the standard was not paying the fees - but maybe I was wrong.
Here is just a snippet of the post: "membership is a right...that can be revoked'
So is that the case? If we are in the system voluntarily and hold a deed I can see where, as an example, RCI could terminate a membership in Points should the member break the rules. It had better be pretty egregious as there may be thousands or dollars in buy in involved - a tough thing to simply lose on a corporations say so. But what if you bought into a system like Wyndham where the points ARE what the basis is. Can THEY boot you out? On who's say so?
Talk between yourselves. I think its more than a bit high handed.
