Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Den):
jimb387 - I happen to agree with you and suspect that each of us has had to figure out ways to wring value out of what we own. The Destinations program, however, makes our week purchases look like a bargain. Those of us who already own weeks have a great advantage in cost and in flexibility of use.
I am also glad I enrolled my weeks in the Destination points program because it enables us to use 1 or two days here and there and/or to acquire 5 day Sunday thru Friday periods at a reasonable cost in points. I'm certainly better off because I enrolled our weeks in the Destinations program. Buying Destination points is a different story.
We've had some fun times with our Marriott participations.
