Re: Purchase of Resale at Marriott’s crystal shores (by Cynthia S.):
Hello. Are you buying this from Marriott or the owner? If it is from the owner, then you get the week and not any special perks that Marriott may have attached to it. (If you buy from Marriott in the future, then this week will not count towards ownership levels. It is just a week.) I suggest you attend one of the sales briefings and then see if they offer you any of the special "buy back" package deals. These are usually discounted weeks tied to a point purchase.
Also, Marriott is trying to get away from selling deeded weeks and just selling points. At the present, points are selling at +- $16.00 each.
