Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Julie V.):

Just got off the phone requesting an II exchange and heard from the agent there that they are being trained on managing the Marriott point exchanges. She also mentioned that it's been a small percentage of owners who have bought into the points program so they don't know when they'll take over.

Found it very odd that I was able to book six 2 bedroom villas in the "highest time" (mid March) at the Desert Springs Villas in Palm Desert on the Marriott site. How is it that the hotel site had so much prime time inventory that I can't book through II?

What a mess... At least the rates were reasonable. Would prefer to do an exchange but I doubt the inventory will ever find it's way to II.
