Re: Marriott Going to a Point System (by klalaw):

For our ownership of 4 fixd week Christmas new years if we traded for points we would not have enough to get back in and no guarantee to get the holiday we chose originally. We have had our request for a week in Maui at this time in II for TWO years and have never gotten it. Not like before this point system. We asked how they can take units out of the original units on deeds that were to be available on request. Marriott informs us the units on points are not those??? If they had 100 units to chose from and they still have 100 units but now reserve them for points people where did they take them from?? It is so intricately and legally worded you would have to have big money to argue this. Trying to rent an extra unit last Christmas we were told NONE were available while we looked out at the new units and saw many empty..........all being held for the people on points! great for Marriott.....they don't have to clean them etc just let them sit while asking exorbitant points to use them. Deeded owners are becoming second class. Marriott changed the RULES of the GAME in the MIDDLE of the GAME.
