Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Kathy W.):

I agree with your concerns. We joined for only two reasons, after I "screamed and hollered" in my own home about it and calmly let many Marriott people know my thoughts and concerns when speaking to them. We joined because 1.) it allowed us to also bring in our non-Marriott purchased properties along with property purchased through Marriott so that they can be traded for Marriott Reward Points. We don't use them much, but it has been a nice option when we wanted to travel to Australia, DC, etc. and 2.) it protects us for the future and the use of new properties to come - and this was the part I was NOT happy with doing! However, we still have one Marriott property that we bought after the deadline so it is not be included.
Again, I agree with your concerns. I think the better plan would have been to keep the weeks-purchase option and bring the points in as a second option, rather than replacing the week option.
