Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Den):

Some good comments.

I'd like to add and summarize: The points are terribly expensive (at purchase and ongoing maintenance fees); are a dedicated, single use currency for use through "only 1" vacation provider (very limited/over priced choices); Redweek rentals from owners are always the lowest cost and most flexible alternative; and both point and timeshare ownership purchases are for the rest of your life (maintenance fees continue and do not adjust for life changes including aging).

What happens to Interval now that it is owned? Will Interval survive or will Vacation Club force us to convert weeks to points? Has anyone else noticed how difficult it has become to get good weeks through Interval exchanges?

We have experienced all of this as Chairman's Club members.
