I an definitely upset with Marriott about totally devaluing my timeshare without so much as a vote or input. I do not like when I am lied to. I was sold something, agreed to usage etc. and them had that restricted. Put it on another level-let's say I sold you a piece of land to build a house. I prodded you to buy by promising you access to the pond for boating and fishing. Then a couple of years later I advised you that you could no longer have access to the pond.Would you be upset with me? Would you want to do business with me?
Be honest and answer. This is the point of the threads
Michael, in any court of law, it's going to depend on what was agreed to in writing and not what was said. If you were promised something and it changed then you have cause for action. If not, then just enjoy your ownership. The whole issue of devaluing your ownership is really incomprehensible to me. You have a right to use the property unit for one week and you still have that right. If the value goes up or down is insignificant unliess you want to sell it, but that could fluctuate on any real estate regardless of what kind it is as there are several factors related to property values.
The bottom line... yes points are expensive, but you don't have to worry about that. Also, you can still use your timeshare as you always have.
