As I mentioned in an earlier post, I can't see myself joining given my pattern of using my home resorts. j227 said: > Thus, if someone actually wishes to get to a > particular location they would be better off > purchasing a deeded week on the open market. > The price would be far less, the mtce fee > would be less, and they would actually get to where > they wish to go -- and they can still trade their week > with Interval International. Very true --- UNLESS Marriott decides to now start playing games with purchasers of resale weeks (as has been reported by someone in an earlier message).
