What a well written article. Minor point. I don't think deeded owners who join the Destinations Program give up their right to vote at their home locaton. Marriott had them agree in their Destinations contract to support the POINTS program if it came up for a vote, but I don't see how that rule is enforcable. They could kick you out of the POINTS program, but if you vote against it it means you don't want it anyway. Another silly provision. All Marriott had to do was continue the deeded ownership program and then add the POINTS program as an additional option for those who wished to join. Instead they turn the whole program upside down and loose the confidence of many current owners. I just don't see how this was a good decison.
