Marriott Vacation Club - should we buy? (by Lorraine L.):

Hi there - last week, we went to a presentation and bought 1500 points. However, after reading the contract line by line, and doing research, I'm still not sure that the investment is worth it. (We can cancel the contract until this Friday)

We are still in communication with the sales, the finance and the contract people trying to get answers. My biggest question is - will 1500 points get us a 7 night stay in a 2 bedroom villa at all of the 50 resorts that MVC owns? I know there are exchange programs for other resorts, but it seems to me that MVC owns 50 and that we should be able to stay there without paying additional fees. Is this correct? Or, is 1500 not enough for one week so we will have to bank/borrow points year to year?

We are also the lowest tier, which means we can book 12 months out. But the higher tiers can book 13 months out, so will everything fill up within those 4 weeks?

Thanks for your help!
