    I think you put in a tidbit of knowledge regarding book points and cash and getting 10k points. Have I read it correctly

    Mtnlover – Currently Priority Club has Points & Cash set up so that you can make a reservation, but you have to buy 5,000 points for $30 or 10,000 points for $60 before you can complete the reservation.

    If you subsequently cancel the reservation the points remain in your account.

    I have earned points this way by making a reservation that I ended up cancelling when my plans changed.

    Some Priority Club members use this method as a way of buying discount points.

    Unethical perhaps, but at this point in time, I am not aware of Priority Club penalizing members for cancelling Points & Cash award reservations.

    Bottom line: You can buy 10,000 points for $60 through Points & Cash by booking an award and then cancelling it. The points remain in your account after cancellation of the Points & Cash award stay.
