Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Den):
Steve, I appreciate your comments and feel much the same.
The current view of "necessity" is foreign to many of us who grew up in a simpler world.
Must be careful though and those of us who feel this way should not be "sucked in" by the Marriott sales model. Unfortunately, the sales approach has been refined to mask these thoughts long enough to catch us. I am probably the king of backing out of Marriott contracts within the rescission period. Of course , we got hooked a number of times. Dave Ramsey calls this a "stupid tax" but why does it have to go on for the rest of my life? Only glad, our spending habits enabled us to stumble a few times.
This forum is probably a lifeline to many as they may see alternatives to the "highest price" approach of buying from Marriott.
Incidentally, if I come up missing, it may be because my wife told me she would kill me if I signed up for another Marriott sales presentation.
