Of course, a "salesman" told you Marriott was grabbing them. My actual and recent experience has proven otherwise as I have bought at Newport Coast and Ocean Watch, both high demand locations. In our case, we bought because we use these resorts and it was better than fighting over the few trust units available for points. It would be good for points owners if the Vacation Club would add weeks at the better properties using the ROFR. It is very difficult to get into some of these properties because the trust doesn't own them and Vacation Club must rely on legacy owners to get the weeks (in exchange for points). I suspect Vacation Club prefers to have points owners spend the points on outsourced vacations. Wouldn't it be great if Vacation Club disclosed the resort weeks "owned by the trust" each year to all trust point owners.
