Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Matt H.):
One of the good parts of the DP is the fact that you can fly mid week when airfare is cheaper. I enrolled my weeks and they gave me pretty good value for Aruba and Las Vegas, but a really low level for my New Jersey week. However, NJ gets the highest Marriott Rewards Points, which I use for big trips to Australia, etc. So, I think there are pros and cons to it. You do get preference at your home location if you enroll your week. I do know that.
One of the biggest gripes I have is that they have not gotten their web site up so you can check inventory and pick your weeks on the web. You have to call them everytime just to check if a location is available, let alone locking in your week. That is frustrating, and even the people that answer the phone say it has been frustrating for them because customers like to sign themselves up and not have to call every time...
Overall, I've been pretty pleased...but I've only used it for one season!
