Re: Buying Marriott Destinations points (by Nancie T.):

I did not go into the points system. I suppose I should have when the cost was $695 to make that an option, but I am happy going to my home resort for two weeks in the summer. If I want to go somewhere else, I'm happy to try my lot my trade on Interval (which I've always gotten with request first), or rent someplace I want to go to on Redweek, and not deal with the point skim. No way would I ever buy ANYTHING else from Marriott though. Very disappointed in the changes I see with the conversion to ownership weeks to points, and the promises made by Marriott when I bought in 1996. I'm just thankful I like my home resort, and that I bought in the plat. season.
