I haven't seen any discussion on aftermarket sales of Trust Points. Surely some Trust Points owners have had the need to dispose of their points. I have 4 weeks and have enrolled in the DP system that gives me 12,800 points. The sales folks tell me to get full benefit I really need to purchase at least 1000 trust points for $11,400. Would 1000 points bought from someone other than Marriott work just as good? It would be good for me to get over that 13000 point threshold to become a premium plus member. I feel that the DP system is going to be very positive overall and I hope it works close to what the sales reps tell us.
I will tell you that if you can buy DC points resale, it would be cheaper but Marriott is using ROFR on them now. There have been very little sightings of resale DC points seen and when they have been Marriott has used ROFR. I would go to Timeshare Users Group (tug2.net) as their forums on Marriott timeshares has a plethora of information on DC points and sales.
