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

We own two Marriott Aruba Ocean Club timeshares where I can us as weeks or convert to points and get about 6 days for each. Perhaps September and October I can squeeze 8 days out for each. Aruba is the only place that we would use them. We liked the conversion of two weekly use of weekends at Marco Island but now with four buildings and less chance to see the Gulf I rent apartments in Marco, If I didn't have the timeshares We would be staying at the best room at the Hilton Aruba using our Diamond honors privileges and with honors rewards or certainly not paying $400.00 per day. I pick the room and. view we want and even get towels and room cleaning every day without additional charges! I don't consider that we own timeshares as Aruba is on a 40 or 60 year deed. Our owned timeshares can be sold and resold to different corporations and management just like a rental apartment. So we feel we rent the Aruba apartment subject to the rules of the rental and annual rental increases with no cap.
