Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Thomas N.):

I agree that it does not make a lot of sense to trade your unit in for points, and then try to use those points to get back into your home resort. However, that is simply one example of the inequality of the point values that are arbitrarily assigned. Even if you decide to trade in your unit and then use the points elsewhere, those points are worth much less on a relative basis.

Furthermore, the claim by Marriott that you can use and trade your deeded week like you always have is totally misleading. Please do not be persuaded by this propaganda. Simple supply and demand indicates that if weeks are traded in for points rather than being deposited with Interval International, THEN THERE WILL BE LESS WEEKS FOR TRADES. Therefore, you will not be able to trade as you always have. Further, it is obvious that Marriott will no longer put unsold inventory onto II as in the past, thus further reducing the inventory for trades.
