Hello, That is not the case with Marriott owners. They don't have to use points. They can make their reservations as they always have during the same season. Nothing has changed. In your case you could not stay in your resort you did not have access to the same number of weeks. Marriott owners' complaints are that they do not receive the amount of points it costs to stay at their own resorts. However, they don't need points to stay there. All they need to do is make a reservation and book it. It's owners of other Marriott properties that have to use points. So if your property needs 4000 points to stay in a 2 bedroom. You may only receive 3900 points to stay at other Marriott properties. However, you don't have enough points to stay at your own, but it's not necessary. You can stay at your own by just making a reservation. You don't use points to stay at your own place only at others properties. The number of points used at other properties can be more or less depending on the size unit, time of year and week desired and location. That's a big difference from your situation.
