Tracey - I question your comment re use of points. I have never had any problem in using points whether owned or from the deposit of enrolled weeks. "For use" points from both sources are combined and are used without distinction to the Marriott owner to acquire vacations. On the side, Marriott is motivated to get weeks from owners and it would be to their disadvantage to cut off owners who provide inventory beyond the weeks owned by the trust. Were they to mess with owners by restricting use, the points program would be destitute for the best weeks at the best locations. Go back and look at the weeks that went into the trust at the beginning and remember that it was an inventory of unsold weeks - not the best weeks or locations. The trust needs me (with my owned weeks) more than I need the trust.
