If indeed the salesperson is correct, that legacy owners can only exchange between other legacy owner's exchange points then I do not understand how or why a trust points owner can trade into the pool of exchange points. Seems like a double standard that only favors the trust points owners.

If the two pools of points are actually separate and will always remain that way then at least the legacy (weeks) exchange points are only traded between other legacy owners. Trust points owners would be limited to just inventory sales since last Jun 2010 and future resorts.

The one exception would be if the legacy (weeks) owner joined the Trust with a purchase of Trust points. Which as you salesperson described allow all that owner's legacy/exchange points to trade into the Trust pool as well.

Perhaps I understand the system a bit better and see how Marriott is encouraging weeks owners to buy into the Trust. I for one would wait for more Trust inventory/properties to be established first.
