Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Den):
I happen to enjoy BMW's and I have had a number of them over the years. Now, a BMW is an expensive vehicle to buy and to maintain. Despite knowing this, I don't go around saying that BMW is rippinge me off or is greedy.
Marriott is a business, sells a premium product in the timeshare industry, and is expected to be profitable by it's shareholders. I guess I'm surprised by those who don't understand what they bought and then blame the company. Lots of the 400,000 timeshare owners, including Me, are not unhappy with their purchase. I also suspect that these parties have learned how to maximize their timeshare interests rather than sitting around moaning about what they bought.
