Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Michael B.):

Some of us are good with the exchanges. Even after 12 years use of the Aruba Ocean Club on one unit then another unit bought in 2011 I still average over $3,000 cost per year and don't forget the airfares to Aruba. for me the best math is renting a two bedroom apartment in Marco Island that can be had on the Gulf for as little as $2,500 in October and then as little as $6,000 in January or February. Those rentals are not one week but one month!. Free parking or maximum a one time charge of $25.00. For vacationing in Vegas or even Hilton Head Island who needs a kitchen as now retired and no children to cook for, I was going to use a week in Hilton Head and then the hurricane came.i lost the 1,900 points.With renting a hotel room all I need to do is cancel on the internet and not wait to talk to someone after the storm. Ech!
