Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Erman C.):

mark2769 welcome to this discussion on Marriott's Point System and I appreciate your concern over kathyw84's post from 28 Oct 2010. I honestly forgot I was called out as in it along with rick1227. I've found that my comments can be mis-interpreted by some who don't know me and or my true positions on a matter. I trust many on this discussion have noticed I'm neither happy or upset by the new points system, especially since I haven't joined (yet) and thus have no first hand experience with it. I participate in this and other on-line discussions to seek and share facts that will allow all to make informed decisions with regards to our timeshare properties and how we vacation. With that in mind, I recommend we all continue to share information/facts on this topic openly and avoid trying to determine motivations from a few short sentences provided on the fly.

So on the topic of Marriott, I noticed in my recent newsletter mailings all three of my Marriott properties are seeking volunteers for the ownership boards to be voted on later this year. I encourage all who care about their respective properties to seriously consider volunteering to run for election to the boards. This is a critical way to voice our concerns and suggestions for improving the Marriott experience. So for those who care about the future of Marriott timeshares I encourage you to be our voices on your board.

One question to all, has anyone had experience with MVCI's current rental process where you offer your unit for Marriott to rent and they provide an offer that you can accept or decline? Do they offer a fair rental for units or is the Redweek rental process better? Thoughts? Thanks in advance to those who respond.
