Marriott Resale VS Points (by L M.):

Hi, You posted about the point system some time ago and I am wondering if you still feel the same way. We own about an hour and half from our home and don't mind going there, though when we bought it we didn't think we would go. We've traded for a villa (Marriott always) in France, Spain, and a few other places in the states. We thought our kids would be able to join us, but they are still unable to afford airfare to exotic places, thus the Jersey Shore each year. People are telling me is going to get harder to get the weeks I want, but I thought since I had bought at this location, I could always vacation here. No? I appreciate feedback from anyone. Really don't want to put out more $$$.

Hi, our opinion is still the same. We personally feel that the point system is expensive and inequitable. In fact it probably has gotten stronger against the point system.

In your situation, our opinion and experience has shown that you can get where you own in the season you own, very consistently and don't think that will ever change.

I have been wrong many times in the past but since it is deeded, as long as the resort hasn't been booked completely by the time you make your reservation, you should be fine.
