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

I don't understand why some feel they should receive the same number of points as is needed to go to their own property. This is silly. Just make a reservation like you always have and go. If you want as whole week somewhere, then trade for a whole week.**

To help you understand...deeded owners (unless they own 2 or more weeks at their home resort) can only reserve a week, in their deeded season, 12 months in advance. Destination owners, can reserve 13 months in advance. If deeded owners want to reserve a high demand week within their season, they are now competing with owners with points. So the weeks that traditionally were available, are now diluted...(similar to our Marriott points, which are now pretty worthless!!!)
