Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Catherine J.):

Thx Sharon! I put my Legacy Week at the Marriott Custom House in Boston for sale and once that is gone I want to sell my DC Points ...even at a loss. I absolutely love my Legacy Week but the DC points program's intricacies/doubletalk ruined the whole Marriott ownership experience for me.

There's some conversation here about Newport Coast. I traded my Custom House week for a week there. (My 1 bedroom always trades for 2 bedrooms and I always get my 1st choice when I trade my Custom House. I was told it's because there are only 84 units which increases its value. ) We had a great week at Newport. The following year, I used my DC points for Newport Coast and could only afford Sun-Thurs, (I booked the same timeframe. I paid the same amount of $ for my Legacy Week some years ago and the DC points 3 years ago.) I feel I get more bang for my buck with my week. I was told that the Custom House Resales Dept. sells weeks at @ $25,000. The secondary market is obviously where the deals are! The foreclosures sell for $3000-$8000., a totally different dept. I wish I was more informed as I wouldn't have bought the DC points! I appreciate all your imput! Thx so much!
