Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by David R.):

I for one am glad I did not trade my week for points. After asking tons of questions, I was able to extract (from my salesguy) that the points being offered via "conversion" would only amount to 6days at my home resort. So for the priviledge of having Marriott give me only 6 days worth of points (for my present 7day week), I would pay Marriott the "conversion" fee (a little over $2000). What a deal, huh?

I can only hope that most of the present deeded owners don't fall for this ploy and stay in their present deed. Even if (for the sake of argument), they were willing to give you enough points to equal a 7day stay, there is NOTHING that prevents them from raising the points requirements in the future (thus making your points worth less and less days in the future).

This points system is just another way for Marriott to keep taking $$$ out of your wallet -- I'm really disappointed -- I thought Marriott had more integrity than this.
