John, you are right on the mark. I too am a Marriott owner (2 weeks bought through Marriott) and all I can say is I wish I had done more research. I'm finding that this whole points system may have some benefits but it seems to me that it's also splitting the available inventory between the points people and the II people with the result being the average person now has less chance to trade into a good property because all your "eggs" are usually in one basket. Add in the fact that the number of Redweek rentals seems to be going up makes trying to trade even more problematic. It sure looks to me that renting is the way to go.
