Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Ric K.):

That is too simple of a view of the program. I noticed that also, but it protects me as an owner to not have someone get an advantage of taking a unit I may wish to use as that seasons owner. If you are an owner in an all platinum calander why not just make a reservation for what you want at your home resort. There is no reason to trade points unless you wish more or less days.... There are lots of differences in the program, and it is different, not meant to be the same. None of us "have" to use the points or convert to points every year, only when it may make sense to and go somewhere else. I believe that the new point system is an extention of our current program, and as owners for 13 years, we just got a great new benefit....
