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

Fair comment. Silver/Gold weeks do not seem to be highly valued and be able to get good equivalent with the point system. As I suspect earlier, this program makes sense for people have several Platinum weeks at resale (worth paying the upfront fee).

Otherwise, it is an additionnal investment for not a lot of benefits (better stay with II and/or redweek.com rentals). As mentionned, Marriott will have to do something on the upfront fee to have more owners to join. I am sure that this will happen if they do not enroll 20-30% of the total weeks in the near future.
