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

yes, if you wish to go to a Marriott Timeshare location either purchase the week from a third party or rent the week from an owner. Do not purchase the destination points.

Example. To purchase the points from Marriott to go to Grande Ocean at Hilton Head during the Gold Season in an Oceanfront would require purchasing 4000 points. At 13.18 per point this is 52,720 not including closing fees. The annual maintenance fee is 50 cents per point or 2,000 annually, ' There are people on redweek.com willing to sell you this week for 9,000 and the annual fee is about 1300. How easy is this decision to make?
