For Category 3, Category 5, and Category 6, you can get much more value for your points than buying them outright…. plus Cash and Points stays earn points/status, etc. However, if you need your points for a specific award stay, then Buying Gold Passport Points now may make sense for you.

Good explanation & as I recently used all my points, will buy some now and them use for cash+points nights!
Great! It’s not a bad deal to have some on hand for those C&P awards. Best value, however, will be 40K and above….
