Re: Buying Marriott Vacation Club Resale (by Peter C.):

Dele5,

I'm closing on my first resale Marriott so I might not be 100% accurate, but here is what I understand: 1) If you own at the resort and make the reservation thru the resort using your unit ownership you will always be able to know if you will have your guaranteed view, regardless of when you make your reservation. 2) If you use your Marriott unit to reserve at another Marriott resort you do not have a guaranteed view but you are able to request a view. I think you can verify the view of your unit 1 month in advance, but it might be 1 or two weeks in advance.

Based on my experience with Wyndham, if Marriott can legally take away re-sale owner priveleges they will more than likely not grandfather previous re-sale purchasers.
