Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Kathy W.):
He also said that if owners convert to points, they no longer have the option of selling their "unit" on the open market - that it can only be sold back to Marriott. So that means whatever Marriott will pay is what you'd get in resale.
The points system is awful! Don't do it!
In response to the above statement, I think your salesperson was giving you more than a bunch of "bunk," as you say. This information is not accurate, as far as I know. If you join the Destinations program, you still maintain your deed and can still sell your villa on Redweek or wherever you want. Marriott has always had the first right of refusal, but they will not be taking away the option of selling our units. If we buy points, that is the case because we don't actually own our specific villa, but it is not the case for weeks we own when we join the Destinations program.
