Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Janet H.):

I just have to say I LOVE the old Marriott program. I have stayed with II because I pretty much get what I want when I request it. I also love the extra XYZ bonus weeks that they offer with trades. These are 2 for one weeks offered at several locations. They don't tell you about these unless you ask. Last year off my one week we traveled 4 times!

We didn't get into owing a time share till about 3 years ago. We bought on the secondary market and that was the best! We bought a gold week off red weeks site for $3,000.00. The resort price was $25000.00. We did join the points program because we were grandfathered into the program with our week that we purchased on the secondary market. So we have every right that owners do that bought directly from Marriott. We have never been disappointed with the Marriott Properties, We have stayed at several over the years. Those stays are the reason we decided to purchase Marriott. I love the opportunities to travel to beautiful spots around the world!

If there is a negative it is that these properties are getting older and they need maintenance so I don't like that the fees continue to increase!

I have called my Marriott rep several times and educated myself as to how to use each program. I think every time I call I learn or relearn something new. Interval reps as well. They are there to help.

Happy Travels!!!
