Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst - Gift of Time XXX (by Julie V.):
As I had predicted it is confirmed that another benefit of ownership has been taken away. "The Gift of Time"... when the calendar year allowed, week 53 was offered to owners as an additional week that could be used for the cost of the maintenance fees. Not any more...
The point system has given the Marriott another outlet to release those dates so owner will no longer have the opportunity to book them.
Clearly, the point system is only going to get better and have more inventory but it's at the cost of us owners who have invested large dollars in the Marriott name only to be a force fed whatever new idea for income that the management has dreamt up.
Disappointing to say the least.
