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

Well, Sept would be hurricane season of course which I realize Aruba does not get as many. The $777 is for a 0 bedroom "villa" and Sept is off season according to II. Not necessarily the same as having a spot reserved long in advance if necessary. But the idea is a sound one, once you have access to II, you can certainly use the getaways all you want. I've used 4-5 in a single year before. But you can't compare $777 for 0 bedroom in Sept vs say a week in January or February, high season. Not the same value, but yes IF you can get it too. That being said, I do go off season myself, just depends where and is it really a bad time of year. I don't go to the deserts, for example, in July or August but they sure are cheap! Nor do I go north in the winter, mostly as I do not ski, too old.

Just an Fyi - Tugbbs has a good survey of the happiness levels of Marriott owners. Some here might be surprised at the current totals.
