What alarms me is the creation of a marketplace to trade those nights on CC. Due to restricted PB availability it really gives an incentive to book as many nights as possible and come to CC to profit from those bookings. Along the way many other members who legitimately want to book the discounted awards find out that they are too late and the awards are gone.
I have no fundamental problems with the posts I quoted in OP (or the market value of those nights) but I don't really want to see FT turning into a marketplace for scalping.
IMHO, you've raised two issues: CC trades and IC policy of award bookings.
As you know there have been more than one threads recently in CC and ORP that specifically discuss what's expected in CC (market place vs. community spirit). I am not going to reiterate the whole debate here. All I can say is it's no surprise your thread got moved to ORP now.

This seems to be your main focus but I failed to recognize it in OP. It appears you are advocating a policy change in Priority Club. If I were you, I would resort to more effective channels to communicate with IC officials.
A standalone thread in our IC Forum may help, if there are resident IC representatives on board, like what we have in SPG Forum.
