Jeffrey, All I can say is, "WOW!!" If I am reading this right, you bought 20,000 points from Marriott. I don't know what kind of discount you received, but that means you would have paid in excess of $150,000 for those 20,000 points. Marriott should be doing anything that you asked of them. With the amount of points you have you should priority in making reservations to go wherever you want. You are having difficulty? Points owners get their reservations from different buckets than weeks owners. Are you trying to make your reservations early? Because you are a Premier Platinum Plus member, you can make your reservations very early out with no penalty. Weeks owner have to wait for 12 months, but again they come from a different pot. [Q=jeffreys95] We purchased points 3 years ago. We kept our 1 week owners week too. We were grossly misled by the sales person and his manager when we bought the points. After 2 days back and forth discussing all our options and asking questions, we bought a LOT of points. The sales person and his manager told us the Marriott would buy back the points for the going rate and we should wait til the end of year (we purchased in Aug) because the price was going up like 20 cents per point (like a stock). Come Jan the following year per marriott, they never had any intention of buying back the points. We have20,000 points! I wrote to Marriott head quarters, our salesman no longer with Marriott (of course). HQ said sorry, here is contract you signed. We all know when signing contracts after a while its gibberish. We were totally swindled! P.S. That clause about additional fees was never brought to our attentions. we spoke about it specifically with the sales rep and he told us that we could sell it no problem, only lawyers fee involved.[/Q]
