Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Joules J.):

Hey....did the point conversion tour this morning. I got $100 to use as I please on Hilton Head Island. If nothing else.....just say "NO" like I did and take the points or cash. That really burns them up....lol.

Anyway, the high desirable areas like Hilton Head and Hawaii in the platinum season will be of more value after this points program. Not many of us yearly users are converting to points. Therefore, we should see a higher value for us Legacy owners. I am dissapointed as it is in the resale value. I found a distress sale for a unit like mine here in HIlton Head "platinum" for $14000. Geez...i paid a little over $20,000 about 10 years ago. If it wasn't for the $1000 a year MF's, I would average in....lol.

Hold strong....dont convert to points. I did not clarify the points conversion as a lifetime choice. I should have...but ...I thought I saw someone write that this was a yearly choice. That would not make sense...then you would have to take the presentation every year and they would spend $100'sto try to convert you evey year. It has to be a lifetime conversion....once...you go to points...you are done. So hold on...take the money or points every year with the tour! I usually stand in the Marriotts bathroom mirror before the tour/presentation....and practice saying "NO" in at least 3 different languages....lol.
