Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Michelle W.):

Does anyone know what this does to our maintenance fees? How do they assign a value to that? If I stay as a deeded owner am I pinched and pay higher than if I switched to points? According to their site there is an annual fee $165 which includes all the lock off fees I used to pay. My maintenance fee was in the $800 range this year, are they trying to get us to move over to points by waving a carrot of a lower maintenance fee?

Also, I too plugged in my "value" of my 3 bedroom/2 bath oceanview(at the Maui Ocean Club) unit which we always lock off to stay 2 weeks. My value is 5850, in order to stay my 14 days like we usually do I needed 13000 for the weeks we go! Huh?

I guess I need to get on the phone and start asking some questions!
