Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System (by G333 S.):
Has anyone considered two very important ideas when it comes to Marriott as a company and the future of it, but more importantly, what effects it will have on both Legacy and/or trust owners?
First off, if we advice everyone to buy resales, then if effect we aren't increasing our availablily, as it's just the same inventory that we've always had access to, just with a different owner. Sure the buyer can save a bunch of money, but other than that, the Exchange pool didn't increase by the addition of move inventory.
Secondly, resales don't really make Marriott any extra money, and true, Marriott International had deep pockets, This new seperate company doesn't even come close.
We as owners should be more positive towards new Marriott owners, especially those that are pure trust owners. The more of them, the more chances we can snag that inventory with are election points.
And lastly, if we here and/or on tug, continue to put in our two cents which may not even apply to their vacation desires, we prevent Marriott Vacation Club from making as much profit as they could have which LEADS TO MY FEARS......I don't want to own a place which isn't making much since the money. We need people to keep buying the trust fonts in increse our availibily to use e points
Right before the swiich to Desinatons a gold 2bedrom as $2764 and a platinum st Lskedhoure was $44,000 for a platinum week. Same applyies for us. When we bout it was cheaper. What jappdcns later?
