Re: Marriott Going to a Point System (by Judy G.):

The same thing just happened to us at Ocean Point!, we were told by Shelly that the points are a rip off to rent because of the extra charges imposed by Marriott. She was very aggressive, loud, condescending...never again...

We own weeks at Maui Ocean Club and Ocean Pointe in West Palm, and we will NOT convert to the point system. When we trade thru Interval International, we often get a bonus week so by locking off our unit and adding a bonus week, we get three weeks out of one, and this would never happen with the point system. If we go to a sales presentation, they have become more and more aggressive about trying to convince us to convert. The last salesman was relentless and the presentation was 2 1/2 hrs. Long vs. the 90 min. They promise. We were very angry about it and made a complaint to Marriott. We will not be attending any more presentations.
