Purchase Paradox: Upgrading View (by Timothy S.):

Friends,

We purchased Garden View at the Aruba Surf Club back in 2005. Lately, we inquired about upgrading to a better view and learned (as suspected) that you cannot do that through Marriott unless you:

a.) Purchase a whole new timeshare w/a better view and then try to sell your old one or b.) Convert to Vacation Destinations and add enough points to get a better view. (Minimum investment of $16,000+ $1K more in MF each year.) :-(

Several friends of ours have strongly advised against the Vacations Destination program and the sales presentation was very underwhelming. I was wondering if any wiser timeshare friends had any real-word suggestions.
