Re: Marriott Going to a Point System (by Pat & Mike L.):

After having met with a sales rep this last week, Marriott is trying to 'legitimize' any units that were not purchased thru them, for a fee plus they will 'sell' you points on the units that you did buy from Marriott....for a 2 BR mountain/garden annual unit in the older unit, you will get 4725 points but if you want to use your points to trade into the same unit, it will cost you around 5300 points. To convert our 2 non-Marriott purchases to the point system it would have cost $1995---something we decided was not for us. Hopefully if enough owners reject the point idea, they'll either drop the idea or re-vamp it.

We can maintain our Interval International affliation and continue to use their services....if you convert to the point system, Marriott will pay the fees to II for you.
