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

Jim, I read this differently. Let's see, you are upset with Marriott for selling you weeks in prime areas that have not depreciated like the rest of the timeshare weeks? Then, Marriott offers to buy them back at 40% of your cost but you know you can do trades, rent them, use them, trade for lots of Dest Pts, etc. Your timeshare yields an extraordinary benefit (return) to you by keeping it, so you say "nuts" to the offer. Why be angry with Vacation Club or Bill Marriott? You have won the game and holders of "great" weeks control the game! It sounds like the actions of Vacation Club worked to your advantage. Why, I'd send a big "Thank You" letter to Vacation Club and to Bill Marriott!
