Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Michael B.):
Timeshares are like buying an auto, but when you walk out of the door of a timeshare your investment is worth no more than 25% of what you paid. Foe me buying one over the internet for $9,000. 12 years ago and one from Marriott at $14,500. eight years ago has cut my per day cost significantly. It's like a pyramid scheme where those who own a Marriott timeshare and haved used it numerous times start getting their per day cost actually below that of a hotel. Still with maintenance fees at $1,500 for a one bedroom before you think of amortizing your timeshare cost the per day cost is $214,00. Perhaps I can sell my Marriott Ocean Club timeshares at $8,000. each. At this time I enjoy using them. I would not dare use my timeshare exchange for other than Aruba, Marco Island, Florida and Newport California. Anywhere else within the United States can be rented for as little as $103.00. per day. I have done this in Breckenridge, CO. Somewhere in the future I'm sure that Marriott will sell off their timeshare corporation including the name and then what?
