Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Brion S.):

Be Aware though Marriott has a hefty price for enrolling resold points into their system so unless you get them dirt cheap AND get over I think 3000 you will have a nasty time getting them fully usable in Marriotts system. You should call marriott and find out in detail what there current ReEnrolment fees are for Resale Trust Points. Last I remember each 250 points was a beneficial interest in the trust and for each block it was about $200 + Title Transfer and ROF Waiver of $120.00 so about $350 for each interest with a minimum of 3000 points Oh and then there is the owner training fee.. so at minimum you are looking at around $3000.00 + to enroll any points you buy second hand. Right now on RedWeek most points seem to be averaging around $4.50 per point.. So add the $1.00 per point to get them back into Marriott and you are at $5.50 per point..

This is somewhat speculation on the costs on my part as they could have gone up as Marriott is trying to protect their sellable interests from the resale market by imposing these fees.

The nice thing about the split offers is that you have both an actual land deed for a resort and then you do have the trust deeds.. Having that week enrolled gives you access to all options within Marriott and sometimes a much lower maintenance fee for the points enrolled through the week (just depends on what week you buy).

Also to answer the storm damage question.. I would assume that as with what happens at the resort level directly is that a special assessment would be levied to ALL trust point owners just as it would to all owners of that resort.. The Trust owners of course would see a lower per person assessment for damages because it is spread over more owners.
