Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Kathy W.):

Anyone have and concrete information about St Kitts to help me make a decision on buying this getaway or not? It wasnt a bad price, $425 and after I cancel the exchange fee of $139 the guest certificate of $60 its only another $200 or so. It seems that the winds of change with II are in the air........ _____________________________________________________ In response to the above, we stayed at St. Kitts a year ago in a hotel room by using our Marriott Rewards points (used WAY too many when we found out later that we could have had the same through a getaway for about $200 at that time). We found out while staying there that the "lockouts" were indeed the hotel rooms. We only found this out after asking a Marriott sales person there to give us a reason for buying when we could get a lockout for about $200 as a getway. He then went on to explain that the lockouts were unreserved hotel rooms, not actual timeshare "lockouts" as we know them.

Concerning trading in there, we were offered a trade for this month back in January and we weren't even trading a Marriott. We probably should have taken the trade, but we had just been there a year ago so took a trade to the Marriott Aruba Resort instead. I'm guessing the reason we were able to get into either of these without using one of our Marriott properties is because it was within the 60 days prior to the trade.

Hope this helps!
