Re: Marriott vacation club points (by John P.):

NO -- you could invest the $ 56,000 and double that in 4-5 years . you can vacation most places for what the yearly fees will cost you - just saying . people with money don't buy timeshares. there is a reason why thousands are for sale on the secondary market - buyers remorse - also financing this would not be wise, that's how they entice you. banks do not want to get burned either and that's why they will not finance this stuff. it has no real tangible asset value. the timeshare people that sell this product are usually young and motivated by commission - even they don't understand the fine print on the contracts and that's what gets you into trouble . you will loose 70 - 80 percent when you go to sell it. the timeshare vacation clubs don't want it back either. buying points is a joke - it is just a way for them to manipulate their funny money monopoly currency. invest your money into your family not prepaid vacations and by all means do not put yourself into more debt
