Re: Marriott Resale VS Points (by Andrew B.):

For any European Marriott Vacation Club member with less than 4 weeks timeshare then buy a resale and save up to 70% off the joining costs.

Destination Points for European inventory does not get you like for like more than 5 nights unless you go in a smaller apartment or travel in lower season.

Keep it simple and exchange with Interval International a week for a week and have a choice of 2800 worldwide resorts not just 52 with only 4 in Europe.

You can usually buy Getaways on Interval International in most the Marriott Vacation Club resorts outside of Europe at most times of year anyway for less than the maintenance fee.
