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

Melissav66, you make a good point (no pun intended) about the value of Marriott Destination points. I see that these points are now being offered for .53 per point on the resale market. I am scheduled to attend a Marriott sales presentation while at Hilton Head next September where 1,000 points will be offered to me for $10,000 (long story as to why I agreed to this 90 minute presentation but my wife does like free gifts).

So, Marriott is offering destination points for $10 a point that are offered on the resale market for .53 per point. I don't know yet what Marriott incentives one gives up by buying resale but the difference in price is shocking. I hope I am missing something here and if so I hope someone enlightens me.

Where did you see the destination points listed for that price? Are they for sale or is someone transferring them to an account on a one time basis?

Marriott will let someone transfer to another person without restriction at this time. So, I am wondering if that is what someone is doing and not actually selling ownership of the points out right.
