Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by G333 S.):
Kathrynm every year you have a choice on how you want to use your week. you can choose to use it at your home resort, trade for marriott reward points (every other year for most properties), give it to Interval for exchange, OR convert it for Destination Exchange points.
You can elect Destination points for one of your weeks and not another one. Each week is independent of each other, so what you do with one, you do not have to do with another. Just keep in mind that enrollment gave you a fourth option each year instead of the original three. Every year you will need to re-decide how to use your week. None of the options are automatic. Also keep in mind that each option carries it's own deadline. For instance, trading your week for Marriott reward points is December 31st while trading your week for Destination points is September 30th.
