Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by David N.):
Not that I defend Marriott (they can do it on they own), but you are not competing with Marriott at the 13 months reservation. There are 2 set of inventories and the deeds' owners are having the same right as before. Now, Marriott (better said the Trust or a converted week to points) is using the same reservation method than you do for their inventory.
I personnally reserved 13 months in advance for 2012 and had no issue at all. A lot of owners that were worried have been able to execute what they wanted (see forum on tug2.net). Also, when I requested to complement my deeded week with 2 additionnal nights using DC points, they told me that this is another type of inventory than the "owners's one" and I will have to call back later (he said "the rental inventory is not yet available for the DC points", see specific 13 months points dates for that).
Before you do any legal action (that will increase the cost of Marriott operating our resorts... so our maintenances fees at the end of the day), please make your experience for your 2012 or 2013 reservations.
