Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Den):
Trust pays maintenance fees like all owners on timeshares owned. Plus, trust has fees for trust costs. My experience is that trust will assess maintenance fees at higher rate.
I have owned Vacation Club points since near start of new program. 5% aggregate increase since inception is not true. More likely 5% per year increase.
Please consider aggregate cost of "all" ownership costs - initial cost, maintenance fees, and loss at time you try to sell). Please consider cost of enough points to go to your desired vacation spots. Consider how inexpensive and flexible it is to rent each year.
