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

I would love to join the class action suit. Before the points program I exchanged Ocean Pointe each year for Aruba. After the points program I couldn't get Aruba through Interval even though I requested 17 months in advance; couldn't get Myrtle Beach; couldn't get one destination in Orlando.....not one from their entire inventory of resorts. One interval employee actually told me that my chances of getting ANYTHING through Interval were slim to none......even though I deposited two (2) ocean front two (2) bedroom units during the Gold season at Ocean Pointe. Now I am going to lose the two units I deposited with Interval because I can't get anything during the time I can travel. It will definitely be the last time I deposit with Interval. The best I can do is reserve the best weeks I can get during my season and rent them on Redweek. Then I will rent what I want from other renters on Redweek. Rented one of my units in just three days in July on Redweek. Additionally the points system has devalued my property. Before the points program I could exchange my Ocean Pointe for Aruba with no problem. Now I must buy additional points if I want to go to Aruba.. In other words like units cost more in Aruba than I get for my unit at Ocean Pointe. Points system is a ripoff in my book.
