Re: My reservation is not mine? (by Mark M.):

Just thought I would venture into this conversation as I am here to say that no matter what you do to protect yourself there is never any guarantee. Even if the person puts your name on it when you arrive if the owner has taken you off the reservation, you won't be able to do anything about it. Unfortunately, there is nothing Marriott can do about it as it has nothing to do with them. One suggestion is NOT to deal with a broker. As stated before the broker mentioned above I have heard other issues with but he has a company name so do your homework. You might be better off dealing with the actual owner of the week. Another issue to think about, if you sign a contract but live in different countries you might have a hard time getting any legal recourse.
