Re: Marriott Vacation Club point system (by Michael B.):

If you were going to a luxury hotel and the last minute they told you that the pool was closed, some rooms have noisy construction, the dining area is being renovated wouldn't you either cancel your stay or demand a room or suite not in harms way? Now with your Marriott timeshare you are stuck especially if you reservations are close to year's end. You are paying for a luxury accommodations and it is a vacation not a visit to a renovation project. it's time that timeshare owners receive the option to cancel and bank their weeks or points to the next year if the timeshare accommodations are not fully operational. You most likely have gone to the website many times just to get you ideal times, rooms and locations. If part of your accommodations are not available you should receive a refund in points or weeks or an allowance for a postponement until you accommodations are up to par.
