Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Julie V.):

I went ahead and made the decision to buy today after a long conversation with the Destination Points sales person. Kept my resale week out of it and paid the $695.

I did it under the pressure of it being a last chance before the pricing tripled. They must really think the economy is improving. I had heard presentations on site but wasn't convinced.

After the purchase was made my take on things changed when the salesperson told me that not only are there buckets for points and deeded weeks but if you don't also own 1000 of the "new" points you don't have access to all of the inventory. I was told the optimum was to buy points at $9.97 each (about to go up) so I would be in a hybrid position. This was after he explained I had the ultimate position as a premiere member in the upper tier to make reservations and have some other advantages.

Good luck making the decision for yourselves. I'm off to get my rebate from Interval.
