Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by David):

Tried to rent my week in St Thomas, submitted it for rent, but they turned it down. It is the low season week however.

We paid the fee joined the Destination points system but haven't used it yet. Seems a lot more flexible in terms of how it might be used but as using any timeshare, you've got to figure out the best way to make use of the thing for your needs. We liked the idea of checking in any day, staying any number of days. That will work really much better for us than 7 days, only checking in on weekends. Weekends are much, much higher in terms of points usage than Sunday-Thursday.

We went through the new "sales presentation" this past week in Orlando where the nice gentleman wanted us to purchase "points" in the new system rather than deeded property under the old. They wanted $15K for 1500 points, etc, 2000 pts for 20K, etc. I think it's going to be a more difficult sale. Having 3 weeks in the old Marriott system, we didn't see the need to purchase points right now.
