If you are talking about assigned points you get one point for each round played in a rolling 7 day period (mind you that executive points and championship points are two separate point totals). If you cancel prior to the day of your tee time you will receive two points, if you cancel same day of your tee time it will be 3 points.
This answer is correct if the first word is changed to “placement points”. If you are a resident, you are assigned MORE placement points than a Premium/Priority (those who pay a fee to play championship golf courses). It’s a big difference in placement points between premium and regular member. Regular members have fewer placement points than guests. Etc. Sum of placement points plus your “playing points” determines your request priority. And also executive course playing points are separate from championship course points. So if you play a lot of execs and then want to put in a request for a championship course, you will have zero playing points in that request. Complicated but it does indeed seem to be reasonably fair
