Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Erman C.):

You have a great idea and one I've discussed with my Marriott contacts as well. They think it might have some merit but were concerned that seven day bookings not staying with the Fri/Sat/Sun check-in used by weeks so could still cause them to suffer "breakage". By sticking to the check-in standard it is virtually the same as a week to week exchange, but now the inventory available is both weeks and points. Good for everyone not trying to do non-standard bookings (more or less than 7 days).

So I propose that everyone who thinks this is a good idea (point value received for their seven day week should equal the same seven day reservations point value for those following Fri/Sat/Sun convention) consider sending this to Marriott Destination as an owner suggestion for future refinement of the program. Perhaps with enough owners passing this on as a condition for considering the program we might get some positive action.

Cheers!
