Does purchasing a unit allow you trade within the Marriott network or is it just at this resort?

In general today Marriott is only selling points not weeks at a resort.The points allow for you to book at Marriot Vacation Club locations alongwith many other types of vacations such as cruises and events. Personally I like the deeded weeks I purchased before they switched topoints. It mostly guarantees I can get my weeks in Aruba. If I can't usethem I can easily (so far) rent them out here on Red Week. If you don't want to make the timeshare investment I think rentingthrough Red Week is a great option. You can get some great deals andspend a week in great places. You could spend 10 weeks or more for a weekfor the price of the timeshare. Read more »

All Marriott owners - whether they own points or legacy weeks - canexchange through Interval International (II) to access Marriott ornon-Marriott properties worldwide. Marriott maintains IntervalInternational representatives at their headquarters to assist Marriottowners exclusively. The Marriott Vacation Club Destinations (points) system is essentiallyMarriott's internal exchange network -- if you own points, you cancontact Marriott directly to use your points for bookings. Owners oftraditional legacy weeks do not have access to this system unless theyenrolled their legacy week into the points option (every year they havethe choice to either use their Legacy week or take points). In order fora legacy owner to be able to enroll their timeshare in the pointsprogram, they must have purchased their unit directly from Marriott orfrom the resale market prior to June 23, 2010.
