Marriott Vacation Club Points

[JLVermillion]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone owns Marriott Vacation Club now that they have the points system and what you think of it. How does the point system work?Thank you in advance.

I own at Ko Olina on Oahu, but haven't joined the points system. It wouldn't be beneifcial to us, as we plan on staying in our unit or trading with II.

You can find a wealth of info at www.tug2.com and check out their message boards! Many of us were disappointed when it came out, as there is a skim. In other words, if we traded our week for points, it would give us less points than are required for our week!! We also own only one every other year week, and if I buy more it'll be resale, which is ineligible to join the points program (at least for now).

I absolutely LOVE our resort!

I didn't care for their new points program because of the skim - so we never joined or enrolled our week. If I ever bought another Marriott, it would only be resale and at a resort where I would use the deeded week (and not points). Their resorts are very nice - love their quality.

Thank you. That is what I have heard, we own DVC and love it. If we buy Marriott we will buy resale. Thanks for the advice.
