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

I just called owner services and was advised that there would be no difference in use between points acquired thru Marriott or acquired privately.

I also inquired recently about an offer to buy points thru an ad on Redweek for $4.50 per point which price included all costs. However, as I thought about it, it occurred to me that the better deal was still to buy a good aftermarket week to use, rent out, or trade thru Interval. The math - I would have had to acquire at least 4,700 points for about $21,000 (at $4.50 per point) to acquire the annual use of the week using points or I could buy the deeded week for $8,500. Maintenance fees on the points would also be nearly 2 times what it would cost in maintenance fees for the week.
