Re: Marriott Going to a Point System (by Scott T.):

Could you clarify what you meant about the points: If you bought on the resale market; can you convert them to the points?

We also bought on the resale market--if you purchased after June 2010 you cannot add the points. You do not convert but simply add to the usage you currently have. We did add the points at a cost of $1495--reson is that we have 2 one bed ocean front units and they are worth 4200 pts each or a total of 8400 pts. With that amount of points you can go to numerous places or we can stay one week in the ocean front and 2 weeks in a garden studio, so we can stretch out our time since we are close to retirement. Also we could go to Palm Springs (for ex or Phoenix) and stay for over a month.......it just gives us the option.
