Re: Marriott Vacation Club Points

Resale weeks are not eligible to exchange for Vacation Club Points (VCP's). A resale week may have been eligible to exchange for VCP's before the resale but looses this option upon resale. The new program since 2010 is a points based program but owned weeks remain unchanged. Resale owned weeks (termed not enrolled) can be used, rented, or exchanged through Interval. Is buying a resale week so bad? Absolutely not! However, I suggest if you buy a resale week, just buy one you will enjoy using and/or is in a high demand season at a high demand resort. Under this scenario, you can use the week or rent it easily for cash. Cash is a universal currency and can even be used more places than points. We own weeks (enrolled and not enrolled) plus VCP's. We learned how to use them to our benefit. By the way, our 3 most recent purchases have all been resale weeks - not enrolled in the points program. We are frequent users of Marriott Timeshares for family events.
