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

There is no question the value of the points program seems less than the old model, far worse if you buy direct. Florida is about the cheapest location for timeshare rentals, dirt cheap, too many of them. As a whole that is, esp. Orlando. We aren't a big fan of Florida trips really. Though, we have a deal for points that is not bad (a steal) on the secondary market upcoming since we travel so much. Some year or decade, we will be more like you are and slow down, but not anytime soon hopefully. If you get points for close to zero, it's not a bad deal depending on how you use them.
