Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Mike G.):

Wouldn't it be grand if 'Marriott" would switch your week to the same destination points that they will charge you to stay. My wife and I bought platinum at the Newport Coast Villas in California. The week is worth 3,475 points but to stay with points in July or August, it takes nearly 4,500 points. Now why isn't our week worth the same amount of point s? We used to be able to stay there during July or August but because "Marriott" has decreased the inventory for legacy owners, we will have to try and use our week at the end of September. What's fair is fair...we purchased the week for use the entire year except late December and should be afforded the appropriate points. As was stated before, it's win, win, win for them and lose, lose, lose for us.
