Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Kathryn M.):
So....just to clarify: if a Marriott legacy owner deposits their weeks through II, then the property goes into the II bucket (making the properties available to any II member--not just available for other Marriott owners), and if the legacy owner who is a member of the Destinations Program exchanges their week(s) with Marriott for that year for points, those properties go into the Marriott bucket to be available only to other Marriott owners with Destination exchange points? We've been lucky in the past going through II's Marriott Desk when we requested other Marriott properties, but have had no success when we wanted an exchange with II when trying to book a European property. I wonder Marriott doesn't just bag II altogether and just stay exclusively with Marriott resorts?
