Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Mike G.):
Why not just save your money and not buy Marriott points. If you look around you can find real nice places to stay at a fraction of the cost for points and maintenance fees. Marriott is in a win win situation. They change the rules and everyone PAYS. We are legacy owners but since going to so many presentations, they were willing to forego the start up fees to be enrolled in the destination points program. Used to be no problem to book a summer week at Newport Coast but since they began this program, it is very hard to get a week in the summer. We have resorted to exchanging our Maui week to points and going in off season. Funny how a week in Maui isn't worth the same points. They got to keep making money to pay off the ceo.
