Seeking Guidance Re: Buying at MKBC in the Resale Market. Good and Bad? (by Charlie B.):
Don't know all the rules but it is my understanding you get all privileges of owners but are not part of the points system. Meaning, we have the right to not use the resort every other year and get 105,000 points instead. I do not believe you would get this option. Not really a big deal since we use it mostly every year or sell it to friends when we can't (a better deal than the points by a long shot since the points system at Marriott is suffering from rampant inflation - the amount of points we get since day one has not changed, but the amount to use for everything has gone up tremendously ie... our week in Kauai is worth 105,000 - just got back from 4 nights in NYC and it was 180,000 points. So, you are not missing anything by not getting points. Charlie
