Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Laura L.):

Clearly I am not an expert on the Marriott point system, but I do know that I paid a lot of money for my timeshares and I thoroughly resent the fact that Marriott changed the rules and hit its existing members up for MORE money to stay in the game. I have not joined yet. As current owners we should have been grandfathered into the new program with a nominal fee and they could have started their NEW scheme with new owners. I too have lost faith in Marriott and will not purchase another timeshare. I use to sing their praises about the timeshare program and do not any longer. With the new point system if you do not join, it will be increasingly difficult to trade from Marriott to Marriott product with Interval because Marriott properties rarely come up anymore. That is the downside of not joining the point system. I like to stay in the Marriott family so I know what I am getting when I trade. Additionally, just before Marriott announced the new program we got the bum's rush from Interval to reup our membership with them. I think it was because they knew Marriott was going to launch their new program. I feel taken advantage of all around. I think what Marriot is doing to its current owners is very wrong!
