Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Sharon E.):

Catherine I had the situation happen to me and I carried on at the main office and got them reserved. You need to make a fuss. They do not want the bad publicity. I got me points reserved so I could use them this year to go somewhere else. Then I"m out of the DC club poimts system and never to use them again. You can also trade them at interval for any of their locations as well as some Ritz Calton hotels. You need to speak to an advisor as they hotels change. I think Marriott is aware of the problems and is trying to keep in low key as not to PO too may o their owners.

GARY, you are my new BFF! Marriott Resale Dept is not interested. I asked what if I just stopped paying ( I owe no $ except for maintenance fees due next Jan'15) and was told my Rewards Points ( from credit card, etc) would be frozen for about to 1-2 years until foreclosure (?) process was resolved. So, that is NOT an option. I'm searching other options. How do I find a reputable broker? I love/loved my Legacy Week. It's the DC points system that is very unpleasant. The "holding account" for DC points (if you have to cancel a trip, you have to wait to use those points to reserve within 60 days of new date or lose them at the end of the year) is particularly offensive and NOT Owner friendly. Can you IMAGINE how many leftover points Marriott accumulates EVERY year from owners? Renting week/points isn't an option. For me, selling at a loss seems a reality and inevitable. All advice/websites/info is greatly appreciated!!! Thx!
