Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Luigi K.):
I don't like the Marriott program but I do get to stay at whatever Marriott Resort I chose through the timeshare program I have. The first time I did a Marriott presentation I didn't like the fact that I couldn't do an internal exchange and had to use II to go to other mariott properties. I've been to at least seven Marriott Resorts and run into whining owners who can never get what they want yed I, a non-Marriott exchanger get in for less than a Marriott maingtenance fee! Makes no sense to me at all.. Of course, Marriott has spun off the Vacation Ownership program as they prepare to divest themselves of their "problem child". I don't think they'll have many takers . . .
