If your focus is just on saving various fees, perhaps your idea makes sense. But one thing you will be forfeiting is your voting rights as an owner. Voting restrictions are placed on current owners when they enroll in the points program. You must agree to never vote against Marriott. It is quite an insidious contract clause that most people will ignore/dismiss. If enough weeks owners enroll, then Marriott can take complete control of the board of directors at a given resort. Marriott can then make changes at will and raise maintenance fees without opposition.
