Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by J E.):

Marriott just sent out an email to owners that prices are increasing on Sept 9th. Their email did not state what prices they were talking about -- which is very annoying.

Here is the anwser: Currently the new DESTINATION POINTS are priced at 9.20 per point. On Sept 9th the price increases to 9.60 per point. And on Oct 6th the prices goes to 10.00 per point.

Rather then purchase more points, it makes tons more sense to purchase actually deeded weeks from a current owner. You will end up with a week you can trade with II and save at least 50% of the price. In addition, for most locations the maintenance fee will be considerabley less for the deeded week then paying the 40 cents per point under the POINTS program.

If you are a deeded owner you should feel be very happy. If you are not, then I recommend you be one by purchasing a deeded week from an owner who wishes to sell.
