Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by J E.):

Deeded owners rejoice. I own at Grande Ocean. Last week I had no trouble getting the deeded weeks I requested. However, when I tried to use points for one of the same weeks -- that I scheduled as a deeded owner -- none were avaiable. Which was no suprise. Until a deeded owner converts his unit to points there is no inventory at a sold out resort. If you wish to go to Grande Ocean (or any other sold out resort) I recommend you avoid purchasing points and instead purchase a deeded property from an existing owner at a fraction of the price. As propective owners learn about their options, the secondary market for deeded property will increase in demand. It is too early in the process for this to occur on a widespread basis -- but over time this will just become common knowledge.
