Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Jim F.):
Considering your timeshare portfolio and your family's educational and real estate expertise your lack of understanding of how trust points, legacy points, deeded weeks the MVC exchange system interact is astonishing. You really should join TUG and find out more about how the system works. Your unhappiness seems to stem from not being able to add trust points on to your fixed week at Maui. The sales rep evidently told you that this was possible. He didn't lie or mislead you, it is possible. It's just not likely given that you probably own a small amount of trust points and the two reservations, fixed week and trust point, are completely separate and have no impact on each other.
For the record I'm a retired government employee and other than owning several Marriott timeshares I have no connection with Marriott now or at any previous time.
