Re: Marriott Vacation Club "Destinations" - What I Like and What I've Done (by Robbin B.):
This forum is the most helpful and positive one I've seen to date. I love vacationing at the collection of MVC properties and rarely regret giving Marriott so much of my money. There are so many intricate details one needs to stay on top of to properly manage your account and get the bookings you need...but I almost always get what I want and always love the experience at the properties! I own 13000 points and always try to book a summer beach vacation in South Carolina: booking this with trust points is my biggest hassle, but I've succeeded 3/4 times. Question: if I bought a traditional timeshare week on the secondary market, say for example in the platinum (summer) season, would getting a week at my favorite property in SC be more straight forward than trying to book with points? I'm thinking yes, but maybe I do not understand the inner workings of MVC like I think I do...any helpful replies would be greatly appreciated!
