Re: marriot points (by Mary O.):
yes I agree with what you say, I understand that marriott vacation clubs bought privately cannot trade 4 points (alternate years). Which does not really matter if you and your family want to spend time at the resort which you buy. Our daughter has recently gone to UNI and we are multiple owner weeks and I think for business flights/first class flights the deal is not bad , also the round the world deal (4 x 7 hotel nights etc ) is good. Call it a sort of saving club if you do not want/need to use your weeks certain times. I agree it is a waste of time to use points for a week in a hotel, however if you do, make sure to upgrade and pay about £50 per night , for that you can have breakfast if you have kids even better, you can have snacks , drinks throughout the day between jaunts and in the evening drinks (alcoholic) and snacks 5-8pm.A great saver if you are on a budget.
