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

I am a five week Marriott owner (including 3 Hawaii weeks) and for each of the past 13 years I have traded (through Interval International) for weeks in Palm Desert to accommodate myself and 15 golf buddies for a winter week of golf. However, this year the Marriott trades that I have had no problem doing in the past, simply are not there. My strong suspicion is that the new Marriott points program is the reason for this, especially given that in this down economy travel demand is down, not up.

As a result, I am already experiencing first hand that Marriott's claim that deeded owners can still do everything that they have always done in the past is pure fiction.
