Marriott Destination Club Points transfer process and required fees (by Deborah S.):
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.
