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

Buying weeks at 25% or less - Just go to the Red Week resale listings and you'll find them or just make an offer.

With respect to Destination Points, I use this option and find value in it. Enrolled week owners have just added flexibility and opportunity to their portfolios. For example, we just got back from Orlando where we spent less than 1,200 points (discounted within 60 days) for a 2 bedroom week. I may not buy the points but I am happy with enrollment of my weeks.

I own a summer legacy week at the Monarch. I purchased it 20 years ago (used) with the idea that if all trading systems went away, I could enjoy what I owned.

I did sign up for conversion not really believing in it. I was getting extra DC points equal in value what I paid and thought what the heck. I tried the program and really didn't think what it offered as additional flexibility was important to me. ...Also as a sanity check, when I found out that the point I get could not get me into the resort I own for the week I own it, this didn't make sense (cents) to me. This year I did not pay for the fee for the program.
