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

I know people who love and feel destination points are well worth it. I am not one them. I look at it this way. At the current price of say 12 a point, I own an ocean front at the Monarch that takes 3600 points to get in. This is 41,000. Lets say you can buy resale points for 7.5 a point (including all fees). This reduces it to say 25,000. I paid 12K resale 20 years ago. I agree with the statement that you should buy timeshares that rent well. I can rent out my two Monarch units and get 5000 (for both). my MF is about 2800. I have a legacy week so I am fortunate in that I can rent points. 5000 cash can get me 9000 points if ever I want to. I can pay for a cruise. I speak for me and only me,,,DP in not for me .
