Marriott Owners: Exchanging with each other (by Bob H.):
I would be interested in participating in a web site or group that will post Marriott units for exchange with other Marriott owners. We all know that Marriott properties, as a general rule, are a step above many of the others and we would like to maintain that quality and expectation level at any resort we exchange into. The request first program through Interval may work somewhat, but they cannot even tell us how many requests are ahead of us for the same resort for any particular week...you would think that such would be easy. I would also like to see a program for Renting Marriott units that shows what the actual market rental rate for Marriott units is, not just the asking price. Then we could rent our weeks out at an accurate rate for both the owner and the renter. Marriott had a great rental program awhile back in which they had respect for their owners. Apparently, Marriott management wanted a bigger piece of the pie expecially from those owners who were renting their units in Aruba and Hawaii. We never expected such disloyalty from Marriott. Help with either of these subjects are welcome. Thanks!
