exchanges within the Marriott resorts (by C.Eric W.):

Definately UNTRUE. Our first Marriott week was purchased through Marriott. Our second week was purchased privately from someone right here off of RedWeek. The only hassle was the large law firm that handle ALL their transactions for the area was backlogged about 3 months. We rent and list rather than exchange b/c I actually have had no luck with II on high demand locations. I hate having to use II. They really rooked your S-I-L at Marriott. She could have sold it on Redweek. We let Marriott rent our week ONE time; they took a 50% COMMISSION on the rental! NEVER again! Your only other advantage to buy FROM Marriott is the points they offer you, which is another lousy system to work. You never get enough points in exchange for your week to cover a week somewhere else. The reason we stay with Marriott is because of the OWNERship and resort quality.
