Re: Buying Marriott Destinations points (by Den):

We bought some Trust Points in 2011, about a year after the new points program started. We were told by sales personnel that use of what we had, even enrolled week conversions to points, would be restricted without point ownership. It was like, if you don't buy, your substantial week ownership will be left in the dust.

In retrospect, we did "not need" the points! We already had enrolled weeks with conversion rights to points that equaled the rights from the newly purchased points.

Beware - Sales personnel continue to use the same "scare tactic" indicating that our points from conversion of enrolled owned weeks are less useful than new points acquired.
