Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Michelle B.):
I disagree with you, I own 2 Marriott's one is in Hawaii... The pitch when I purchased in Oahu over Kauai is that I have a lockoff with more trading power... If I was to switch over to points - I can not get into Newport Beach or Kauai in the summer which at this point in my life with kids I need to travel.. So I see no value in paying more, and adding to my dues.. I see it as a lose lose situation. Might work if I want to travel off season but that doesn't work. So basically the complete sales pitch for the week of ownership doesn't matter... Also I understand that I don't need it to get into my home resort but the points should match what it takes to get into your home resort... Let me know if I missed something here
