Buying A Timeshare thru RedWeek v Buying Direct from Marriott (by Adriana C.):
I am interested in buying a timeshare through Marriott to primarily use at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club, however my husband and I attended the seminar a few years back and understand that through Marriott you purchase points not a specific week or unit at a particular resort. It is my understanding that you can get a week in Orlando for XX points which may equal a weekend in Hawaii for the same amount of points. They also mentioned that by buying resale you lose a lot of benefits as opposed to buying direct from Marriott. I am really confused and hoping someone has some insight.
