Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by L M.):

Hey guess what! There was availablity at a property I wanted to go to - a vacation club in the destination system.

So, quick, quick I called the Marriott rep assigned to me to reserve the room with our great destination club points! Wow guess what. Yes there is availability but I can't use them to reserve the time. What a shocker! I am told that because an owner has turned it in to rent it, I can't use points.

I can pay $450 plus a night to rent it. Hummm how much do those points cost me to own and pay fees on a night? Where does that money go if not to use a property that is in this great vast vacation club system?

I feel like I have been violated and need a shower.
