I once received that same message. I think the additional slap in the face is that at least in St Kitts, MVC gets a first right of refusal even if you find your own buyer. I don't think they would use it but who knows ? I finally opted for the Destinations Program. I resisted for years but suddenly found out that there is no longer a fee to join it. Found this by accident while speaking with someone at MVC. Now I can use the week, rent it myself, or take the points for some sort of vacation elsewhere. I am not surprised that there are law suits. I was clearly told that Marriott would assist with a re-sale, with a rental (never once have they accepted it), or trade for Bonvoy points which does NOT give you anything remotely equivalent. Live and learn.
