Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Den):

Does this make sense? Isn't this the way it is now?

Under the old weeks owned plan, only owners of weeks at specific resorts would call either 12 or 13 months in advance to make reservations for their specific season of ownership at their resort. A person who did not own at that resort for that season could not request a reservation.

Under the new points system plan, any point owner can join the fight for any resort at any season at the 12 or 13 month in advance mark.

Conclusion - It seems the new VCP plan increases the number of contenders for the better seasons at the more in-demand locations. Further, the owners of specific resorts may have lost a reservation advantage for their owned location.

Please think about the above and refute it if you care to. I hope I am wrong for the sake of those of us who own specific weeks.
