Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by Den):
Distinguishing Trust versus Exch Pts -
Recently, I received a call from our Sales Rep and he advised that all Dest. points were interchangeable in use. He called because I had asked this specific question a few months ago. Apparently, the lack of distinction was recently covered in a Sales meeting to clear up confusion. I also called the Owner Services line today and received the same answer.
If one still has a question about this, I suggest they call Owner Services at 888 682 4862 and ask the specific question of those who administer the Dest program on a day to day basis. Questions regarding this need not persist.
Incidentally, I have used both Trust (purchased Dest Pts) and Exch (acquired thru depositing weeks) Points in combination to make reservations without incident.
