Re: Buying Marriott Destinations points

The answer is yes. For example, you buy a week at Marriott Grand Chateau, Las Vegas, request the lock-off, and trade as two separate units. This week would be purchased privately, not thru Marriott. Make sure you buy a "Platinum" week as you want a desirable week to offer for trade thru Interval. You then make your reservation for a great week in terms of season. Interval will take your week in trade and depending on your week's trading value and availability, will grant you a week at another timeshare. Please keep in mind that you will pay a fee and will not get a week of greater value than the week you offer. Requested weeks can include weeks other than Marriott. Note, there is no free lunch, expect a week in trade that is of equal or lesser value to the week you deposit - in time, season, and desirability. I have been very happy with my trades through Interval.
