Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Thomas N.):

I am a 5 week owner (all purchased through Marriott). I am considering paying the $695 and signing up for the new program, just to get the: (1) no fee for lockoffs; (2) no fee for Interval International membership; (3) no fee for Marriott to Marriott trades through II; (4) no fee for canceling or changing reservations at my home resort; and (5) no fee for trading into Marriott hotel points. Plus, they will give 800 points in the new program (worth a few night), just to sign up. BUT I WOULD PLAN TO NEVER ACTUALLY RELINQUISH MY UNITS FOR POINTS.

Is there a flaw in my strategy that I am missing by doing this?
