Marriott Ownership? (by Greg F.):

Do you have any suggestions regarding the benefits of buying directly from the companies? I've been noticing the Marriotts point system; I attended 2 of the meeting at the Marriott Grande Chateau in Las Vagas; they were a bit pushy (yet polite). Does the premium cost pay off in the long term if you can rent your timeshare for more than the maintenence fees and still accrue points over the years for infrequent BIG trips?
