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

I holeheartely agree with you. I turn my presentations points into Amazon gift cards as I am a Hilton person. I use the Chase Marriott credit card for that one free night per year. For many Aruba presentations I take the restaurant coupon. I have just about become tired of the presentations and after the mandatory one that came along with an Encore vacation it may be my last time to sit for 90 minutes with a cookie and pretty bad tasting coffer. I'm tired of the sales pitch showing maps, beautiful photos and that wonderful calculation where you are told that a room in any hotel is at least $600.00. For $25,000 plus $1,500 per year and utility taxes etc you. can enjoy your one week in Aruba for 40 years. Yes, what happens to the Aruba deeds after 40 years.
