Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Sandy P.):

I have enrolled into the program. I do have one week that was purchased after the deadline so that one cannot be converted. Frankly I was very worried in the beginning but now that I have been trading (I have a total of over 40000pts) some weeks for pts, I am happy about the flexibility of it all. I was able to add days when needed, change stuff when plans changed and visit new resorts without having to wait for an II exchange confirmation. My complaint is that somehow I ended up with a balance about 10 pts. Now because Marriott’s has a rule that the pts can only be transferred to someone else by increments of 25 & therefor I cannot even sell them or give them away to someone else. Also because there is obliviously not enough pts to book anything with it, I will end up losing those pts in less I decide to convert an other week. Many people end up leaving pts on the table that they are unable to use. I have told Marriott’s that that is not fair! Imagine how much money they gain if so many of us have these small balances? I know it’s not much individually but combined? Anyway, they should implement a system that allows you maybe to buy a voucher for a drink, an ice cream or money certificate that can be spent at the resorts when to balance prevents you from booking anything….
