Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by David N.):
I fully understand your frustation. My simple point was: do not really trust anyone (except your family, of course!).
When it comes to business, I am really careful and do no trust words. Over time, I have learnt that businesses where you do not do multiple/repetitive transactions (such as general retail, electronics, etc) the salesmen are just focused in selling hard at any cost. Real estate, timeshare or even car dealers are classical. You will see the guy only one or two times and ciao! He is trying to do anything to close his month sales number!
Unfortunately, Marriott seems to have taken a different approach recently, although they are not doing anything illegal as you are saying. For me, it is difficult to understand how a company can leave its loyal base in this situation. They should have done it more easy for you to join (free or symbolic USD 100 contribution), as you already paid the full price, and maybe more difficult to the resale buyers like me.
Anyway, we are not going to solve anything here but I am sure that Marriott is monitoring the forums/blogs and taking feedback.
