Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by L M.):

I received this email yesterday. To me it looks like it supports the opinion that Marriott is having a difficult time with this point system. However, look at the black out dates. They are over Thanksgiving. That is the time when 99% of people are going to be able to use them anyway.

I thought I would share this email in case someone has not seen it.
