Re: Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by Gary S.):

Not to be combative, but: What did you expect...exchanging anywhere irrespective of season, view, demand, etc? You indeed CAN trade for any other MVC resort, as well as Ritz-Carlton Clubs (yes, you need enough points). Consider renting more points as necessary I find points very valuable for getting the exact unit size, view, etc. Especially attractive is the ability to check in any day of the week, and the better value for midweek stays. YMMV :)

Marriott points work if you want something other than a week at another Marriott. They are deflated....meaning you cannot get into your home resort with the same amount of points that they give you. When we bought into Marriott we were told you could change for any other Marriott. That simply does not hold true with their Destinations program. You can only trade into another Marriott if you have enough points. they've changed the playing field....in their favor.
