ask-redweek-timeshare-points-vs-week (by Stewart L.):

The points concept only benefits the developer. I own fixed weeks in Aruba at the Marriott Surf Club and the Divi Phoenix. This is where I want to vacation. The sales office at the Aruba Surf Club is still open and yet the resort has been sold out for many many years. What exactly are they selling when they sell points. That is the right to use at any Marriott in the world, but if you think you are going to stay at the Marriott Aruba Surf Club, you are being FOOLED. Someone has to give up their week at the resort in the points system and hope to use for a trade to get into the resort. The points are eligible for all Marriott point owners in the world. Good Luck ! I know I own there and have the right to have a room there. If a room is not made available to me, it will set up a class action suit and I am surprised it hasn't occurred as of yet. Remember Marriott is an American company and they can be sued in the US. I have checked my original contract and feel they have violated clauses in the contract with the ability to sell points due to the fact that there was to be rooms available to trade into which no longer exist due to the points system. My suggestion is do not convert to points. I can be contacted at 732-735-3198
