At this time, the Marriott points system is only an advantage to resort owners who are considered "traders". It appears from the posts that traders have done very well in finding bargains, saving monies and extending their stays. This will probably no longer be true. I am not a resort trader, so my opinion is based on the Marriott proposal and the posts on this site. I own multiple Marriott weeks on HHI. I purchased with Marriott because I loved my stays at HHI........never trading any weeks. I consider HHI to be a destination resort and I believe properties in Hawaii are in a similar category. All others are "trading sites". I will stay a "deeded owner" and the weeks will increase in value, because of there is DEMAND. All "deeded owners" of properties on HHI and Hawaii should NOT opt into the points sytem......let the traders do it.
