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

Hi michaell722, The golden rule that I have always been taught and live by for timeshares is to buy where you want to go during the time period you want to go there.

The theory behind time-sharing is that if you want to go somewhere else and there is someone else that wants to go where you own you can trade. That is the short version. It does get a lot more complicated than that when you get in the system.

But, my opinion and experience has been that, if you want to guaranty that you can go to where you want when you want, that is what you have to buy.

There are a lot of great opportunities to trade around and go to wonderful places. But there are no guaranties that those trades can be made. It all comes down to who else is trading and when.

I hope this helps.
