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

I see, so, that makes sense Michael. The ideal timeshare customer is of course one who can plan a year in advance. But I understand that is not possible for everyone. It's never been an issue for us thus far. However, you use case makes sense. So, to be more flexible, you trade your week for points, which immediately devalue leaving you with (depending on the time of year) less than a week. This is true of everywhere really. I've never really heard a good explanation for that, and have constantly asked about that and got nowhere. Of course, we can guess the reason, but, I like hassling them about it every presentation (when I remember). I always wondered who would ever trade for points since you always lose, but, this makes sense. We'll be heading to Virginia this coming week, but driving so should not be an issue no matter where Irma goes. Could get there (Williamsburg) near the time when Irma would be there, we'll see. I was in New Orleans for Andrew and that was no fun! Looks like Irma has a decent chance of staying at sea.
