HOW to get around ROFR....
Buy something that Marriott doesn't want to buyback, or pay enough for it that it is not feasible for them to buy it back.. Their ROFR is an ever wandering thing as there are times that they will let things go and there are times that they will buy them based on their Inventory and desires at the time.. They actually probably have a fairly sophisticated algorithm to determine what is done and when based on what comes though.. You would probably be hard pressed to get a cheap Hawaii week through them as they would probably want that for their trust inventory.. but getting a cheap week somewhere else might be possible.. Getting points through might be trickier as they could choose at any time to decide to buy or not buy based on price and inventory.
As for the other fees from Marriott.. You can't if you want full use.. You might if you are a significant owner be able to negotiate a little.. but for the most part you can't.
