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

I can go to Aruba HIlton Using my points for Ocean Front Room an use about 498,000 points. I get free breakfast, no resort fees, best rooms or even higher grade room at no cost. Sure, it takes spending to get the points but I do not start out with a donation of $1,500. maintenance fee for the room. I don't need to beg for the better Marriott Ocean View room once I am in Aruba. Sure, I do not have kitchen which now really for two people do I want to cook on vacation? Maybe the eggs I will miss. That whirlpool tub in the Ocean Club suite should readily be changed to spin laundry as who uses it? Wow I get the room cleaned and beds made every day. If the air goes, or there is a water problem I change my room and not wait for that maintenance crew. Yes, there are air conditioning and water problems every time I go. You can go to the Endless Vacations website run by Wyndham which owns RCI and find the Marriott Surf Club and even the Marriott ocean club weeks available for as little as $900.00 per week. You can cancel days before if you wish and no charges. I will keep my two weeks Marriott timeshares and use them wisely in Aruba or Marco Island since anywhere else I can rent for a lot less than the $1,500. maintenance fees.
