Re: Was recently deeded 2 Marriott timeshares. Could use some advice (by Don P.):
Points in my opinion are the worst idea the industry has ever come up with for the buyer. They are great for the developers. They can raise the points needed for an exchange at their free will and increase maintenance fees and assessments to fill their coffers. Read through the forums and you will hear all the stories about how people can't get a decent exchange for their points only to be told that they need to purchase more points and pay higher fees that go with them. Do your homework and ask a lot of questions before committing yourself to a lifetime of never ending increases in fees.
