If there was no point in it, they wouldn't have implemented it in the first place. The reasons for it may very well be non-player facing or not otherwise obvious to the player.

My supposition would be that it's to ensure that there are no issues caused by attempting to redeem points around the time the changeover takes place because it could cause technical or other issues.
