Re: Purchasing a Marriot Vacation Club timeshare (by Sai B.):

The resorts are great, but it is not wise buying them from Marriott. They are usually overpriced by at least $5000. Dont get fooled by the sales pitch about points. They charge a fee for that and you get 90000 points, which are not worth the annual maintenance fee+point exchange fee. I own a 2BR platinum unit at Las Vegas and certainly regret buying it from Marriott. I see several similar units on sale at redweek.com for several thousands less than the price I paid.
