Re: Timeshare Points vs. Weeks (by Michelle B.):

I cannot possibly understand why after spending a large amount of money to purchase a timeshare week, one would want to spend more money to convert to points. I have been to several Marriott presentations and just don't understand why I would pay for twice for the same thing. I own Marriott properties and if I convert to the equivalent points, I cannot stay in the same property in the platinum season for 7 nights like I can now. Just does NOT make sense. On the other hand, if you are purchasing for the first time, many companies only sell points now. As mentioned before, every company has many rules and all are different. Do your homework we'll and don't buy in haste.
