Re: Purchasing thru Redweek or other resale companies (by Meryl N.):

I used to own Marriott and I bought from the resort hoping to have the option to use points as well. there were always black out dates so I rarely could book my room. You had to do most 12 months in advance to get the reservation. also the points are not a great value. The only value is the fairfield and resident inn resorts. Many Marriotts in this catagory are old and have few decent services...ie I wanted an extra blanket and they had none. So the points are no great deal. Also they do buy the timeshare back but at the true value not their marked up value. I resold through redweek and got 10 G more than Marriott would buy back for. Go with Disney or starwood. no black outs or just get a resale from redweek.
