I also own a week of deeded Timeshare with Marriott Desert Spring. We wanted a more flexible option so we bought 2000 Vacation Club Points which allows us to deposit out Desert Springs week for points. We get 2900 point for the week plus the 2000 points we purchased. the Maintenance Fees are about the same. The benefit is we can use the points for 1-10 days (or more) and bank points to be used for the next year. Depositing and Trading into resorts was becoming challenging but with points it is much easier to get reservations at highly desirable locations. Also more 3-4 day getaways.
