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

Michael,

Maintenance fees per points are ~ 53 cents each. If you convert a timeshare to points, mine is 49 cents per point. Of course, you lose a little doing that, so, per point maint fees is a little lower than the 49 cents. But yours are higher from what you said as are many, not sure what the average is, but, I don't see much difference in maint fees. The main difference is the purchase cost. Of course, my reservations get a 30% discount on points, making the effective maint fee lower.

But I agree with you in that for 99% of people, unless they inherited it's much much higher.

Secondary market points = points from Marriott, there is no difference once you get past ROFR.

Dennish - no doubt! They, the salesman, never mention the upfront cost.
