While I don't pretend to understand all the detailed workings of this system, I believe when you buy points they are referred to as "trust points"--you purchased a share of the real estate trust in which unsold and any new MVC units reside. On the other hand when you convert you annual deeded week into points in a given year you receive points but they will receive a confirmation based on the availability created by other deeded owners who converted their week to points in the season you request a confirmation in. Really the only ones who know what this all means in terms of availability to new trust owners, deeded owners who have and have not converted to the points system is Marriott. Unfortunately, they must benefit by the ambiguity since it could be easily be communicated in a direct manner with FAQs or other content on their website. [Q=j227] You said: "----- those who spend an additional $15,000 plus, will get first dibs on where they want to stay." Yes, this is what some salespersons say. However, this statement is not correct. Don't ask sales people. Call Marriott's 888 number and ask.[/Q]
