Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Exit P.):

I have 3500 points (which I purchased on a very good deal as resale in 2013) ...... I just purchased from Marriott a hybrid (2000 points and a week which is convertible to another 1950 points). The cost per point after all adjustments, promotions, etc was approx. $6.70 per point. If I were to buy the equivalent number of aggregate points on the resale market , assuming the transaction passed ROFR, I would be paying just about the same (as the going rate for resale points is +/- $4.50..... plus you need to add the $2 per point "transfer fee" MVCI charges"). While always skeptical of buying from MVCI directly, I did extensive research and do believe this is a fair deal. It gets us to Executive Level as well and Renting" points does not really fit my needs as I am interested in booking further out at times, and shorter stays including RC properties......

If somebody thinks otherwise about this deal (aside from the usual Marriott bashing), I would certainly like your input and feedback.
