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

Perhaps those people who purchased their timeshares many years ago and use them regularly benefit from them. A newer owner needs to realize that their timeshare purchase with annual maintenance cost can take over 20 years to reach a break even point where the price per night is less than renting directly from Marriott. I don't think many timeshare buyers think about the affordability when there is a change in family income health issues or age and death. Be prepared to give the timeshare to your children and if they don't even want to pay the maintenance fees then sell it at best about 25% of the price you paid.
