We didn’t pay full dues on our MB2022 points either. Bought June sold back Sept UY. Paid 3 months of dues, so less than $300 toward the $3,300 rebate. $3k/150 = we still cleared $20pp

No taxes, no hassles. Signed one small document and received the check 3wks after closing.
Same for us about those points - they were redundant because we already trips booked over the year.
Buying 150pts direct for $25k has spoiled me a bit with resale listings. Seeing 150pt resale contracts for $22k+ plus closing and possibly dues, I think why bother. There’s 40-50 contracts like that right now between PVB, CCV, BCV, VGF, BLT, and even restricted RIVs. Most of them don’t even have points coming until 2024, many late 2024.
