Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Bob P.):
Kathryn, after seeing what properties you have and the ability to trade them every other year for 330,000 MRP's, and the lack of time restrictions you have on travel, I think you already had enough flexibility without converting. I simply say this because your platinum weeks have great trade value and if you convert to MRP's simi-annually already you may not be gaining any increased flexibility.
My decision not to convert was based solely on the fact that I already hold Hawaii units that I would not be willing to give up for less desirable locations. As for Palm Desert, we ALWAYS go there in the winter. I don't care to go elsewhere. My lock-off, when I don't need it and the ability to buy Getaways keeps me loyal to II.
It comes down to whatever you think you are happy with.
