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

I own two Platinum week Marriott Timeshare weeks. I joined the Marriott Vacation Club Destinations - the new point system. Don't Join - if you are smart. They only give owners a points value of 6 nights to trade back into your own resort for each of your timeshares. What does that mean? It means you get a 6 night value in points when your timeshare is 7 nights. I called and asked a customer service rep about this. I was given this BS answer- "Not all weeks in your Platinum time period have the same level of request by owners -- so we averaged the value of your Platinum week out." In other words - we screwed you, we know it and tough luck for you.
