I suggest looking into buying a resale week directly from Marriott and enrolling in their Destinations Point program for a good value and potentially some savings on the yearly maintenance fees. I also discovered that even after you have selected to take the Destination Points, the Destinations desk can help you use those points to book weeks in Interval. The number of points required is tied to the demand index, not the caliber of the individual resort. In looking at the point redemption chart, it appears to represent a fair value, particularly if one of the Marriott caliber villas are available. This was good news because it allows you some flexibility, even after you have made a decision to convert your legacy usage toward Destination Points and preserve some of the points if you can use a lower demand season or smaller unit. I hope the following chart flows well on this thread For those not already in the Destination Program, a Legacy Week would commonly provide you between 2750 to 5000 of these points in a given year, depending the location, size and season you bought.
