Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Steve F.):

Well, not all properties are that way. Desert Springs in high season is always fully occupied, yet, as an owner, I have never in 17 years been unable to go there. While we are there, we arrange next years stay 12 months in advance. I certainly can't rent there in high season for $225/nt via any deal I have ever found. Just spent 4 weeks in Australia, rewards points for 2 tickets, 2 saved lockoffs for 2 weeks, a small number of MVCI points for gold coast, and, rewards points for cat8 in Melbourne and a few days staying with a friend. I usually find a wa7 to work it.
