Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Michele M.):

You are right it will cost you 695$ to join the new program, no need to buy anything else. It may give you more options, you do not give up your deed We were interested and ready to sign , actually waiting for the sale person to come back with the paper work. When he came back , all bets were off , he realized we had bought one week on the resale value, all of the sudden instead of 695$ it would have cost us, 695$ plus 1,400$ to enroll, we own 3 wks , yikes . Of course , we did not joined, it was pretty slimy for them to change their mind, maybe a honest mistake from them, but it did not make us feel any better. They also change their story because I remember being told before, since we bought in the island time share resale we were okay Also , this year it is the first time I did not get what I wanted when I made my reservation 13 months In advance. My question is : they always say the point system is a different bank but if a legacy owner has joined the point system and not using their week, then that week is part of the bank and Marriott can keep it for the point owners, how do they distribute those weeks? Do they keep them for when the demand is higher, especially Maui in the spring, you need more pts then, meaning those weeks are not available for legacy owner to use. I always thought it was the unsold units that were part of the new point system, but now I realize it is everything . A little scary for our future reservations
