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

To: Dennish 144 (re the 1/21/12 post) It seems that the negative responses to this program are from those who haven't tried it. Hence, my response to you if you don't mind. I hold two/two bedroom deeded weeks in the Caribbean and, of course, have been contacted by Marriott sales to enhance the deal. If you don't mind a couple of questions 1) at what level did you buy DC points to make it worthwhile, i.e., 1000 pts, 1500 pts., etc and 2) what is your yearly maintenance fee on those points? I do wish Sales would stop offering these at "$2K" as if it were $2,000 instead of $20,000 for 1500 pts. That sin of omission does not speak well for market tactics. If I did buy in I would have a total of 8650 DC points, should I choose, but am not sure that it would really significantly add to what I've already got. Thanks for any light you can shed of this.
