Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Linda F.):
I BOUGHT BEFORE THEY BROKE GROUND JUST FROM LOOKING AT A PICTURE OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. I WAS SOOOOO HAPPY. I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND MY BROTHER AND FRIENDS AT WORK BUY SOME TOO! IT WAS GREAT FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. THEN THE POINT CREEP STARTED. THEY TOOK AWAY MY FREE 1 WEEK RENTAL CAR PER WEEK OF OWNERSHIP. THEY TOOK AWAY MY 1 HOUR FREE PHONE CALLING CARD FOR WHEN I WAS TRAVELING. THE STARTED RAISING THE MAINTENANCE FEES. THEN THEY HIT ME WITH A HUGE, LIKE$3500, FEE TO UPDATE THE PROPERTY. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHAT THE MAINTENANCE FEES WERE FOR? EVERY YEAR IT GETS WORSE AND WORSE.
