Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by P F.):
I think the marriott points system is awful and I will not buy into it! My understanding is that this was a way for Marriott to do a bit of corporate restructuring, but more importantly, a way for them to bundle all their unsold (usually non-prime) inventory into their points trust. Then you buy into the trust and hopefully you get to use those points for your dream vacations? Really??? Do some research and google user reviews of the marriott point system and your eyes will be opened by the oodles of complaints!!! Afterall, when you are selling points to get rid of non-prime inventory and the purchasers want to trade in points for prime inventory....well, there is not enough space in hawaii etc to accomodate all those prime inventory requests = lots of disgruntled points purchasers. I am disappointed with Marriott for going down this route and I will not be joining their points system after all the complaints I have seen on other review sites
