Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System

I think you are spot on with your assessment of Legacy vs Trust Points--and if you go way back in this blog, I think you will find a discussion of this point. This is precisely why we did not buy additional Trust points--because we would have to spend a bundle of money to get any trading power in the Trust. Since we are Legacy owners of 3 weeks, we did join the Destinations Program and fully understand that we are limited to Exchange with another Legacy owner or resort. There are still plenty of these resorts (marked E vs T in the brochures) that we have yet to visit, so we will be content to go to those--or trade with II--or trade every other year for MRPs. It may not be a perfect compromise, but it will work for us.
