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

From a dollars and "sense" perspective, I just don't see buying points as a benefit. In 2004, we purchased two weeks/gold season/lockoff/oceanside/Aruba at $20k per week. Under the DC program, the value of that property to me is 3075 pts, but to trade into it, the valuation is 3500 per week or at $9.82 per point, $34,370. Marriott appears to have figured a 10 percent increase per year to get to that figure. The valuations on Hawaii properties are ridiculous. I paid my fee to become a member of DC because there are some benefits (I think) to that. But, what would possibly be my incentive to buy more points? Things work fine for me as they are.
