Re: Buying Marriott Vacation Club (by Amy M.):

We just did a MVC presentation at a resort in Hawaii. We said no and I went to research - they wanted to give us 1500 points a year (for four years they would give us 1500 extra so 3,000 for 4 years). I started researching properties and all of ones we would be interested in are much more than 3,000 for a week for a 1-bedroom. I think we are going to go the re-sale route because of this or just rent off of redweek.

I asked a question to the sales person about buying on the secondary market and he made a point that because Marriott is now doing the point system, Marriott is now swooping in and buying timeshare resales right before they 'close escrow'. Not sure how true this is and if it is just a talking point to not go the re-sale route.
