Re: Marriott System (by Kenneth K.):
This is a learning audience....the more we talk, the more they learn.
I am aware thet Marriott can cancel the Rewards Program and give points holders many months to dispose of their points.
I have currently abour 600,000 points, none recieved from a return of a week to Marriott, but simply by using the purchase option and the Marriott JPMorgan Visa. (Also use the Hilton American Express.)
Maybe I charge too much on those credit cards.....
The most reward points for purchasing a Marriott week I have ever heard of was from one of my friends who was able to get just over 700,000 points as the Williamsburg Manor Club ( non-lockout units) old section was in sell out. I don't know how he did it, but he does kow how to squeeze a MAR Reward point ( and most other reward points programs) to get the best value possible. His main thesis for aiming at the Manor Club was its low maint fees and taxes. I think that is changing now.....they have started to rise somewhat. But where else can a MVCI owner get free golf for the week at the Fords Colony CC.... if they stay at the Manor Club.
Eric....are owners forced to belong to the Florida Club if the T/S they own are part of it?
Just got the new II book today. Will see if answer is in the Marriott section.
