We are also Marriott owners & wondering about if/when they will convert to points as it seems inevitable to offer the level of flexibility that their competitors have going. Thus far we have been unable to get any confirmation from Marriott management but are keeping our eyes open. What DOES concern me & I am hoping someone on Redweek can answer this, is how our 5 star Marriott Desert Springs Villas 'guest' unit that sleeps 4, is in the top (red) season in late March (primo), & includes JW Marriott pool & 5-star spa privileges, is valued at only 673 RW points, which seems to get us NOWHERE even close to our calibre, on an RW trade. It seems we'd be better off either just renting it outright then taking the $ & renting somewhere else, OR re-upping with Interval International & trading it thru them (as much as I would love to dump II). Any comments, suggestions? Thank you!
