Re: Marriott Going to a Point System (by Gregory B.):

I share your disappointment that Marriott is changing the rules like this. The Marriott brand has had a reputation of trust and integrity that owners rely on (even if it is not spelled out in any contract). If I wanted membership in a points-based timeshare system, I would have gone that direction from the start (there is certainly no lack of those programs to choose from already). I'm sure that Marriott's lawyers have been hard at work structuring this new points system to shield themselves against litigation from existing owners. Very sad - perhaps Marriott has forgotten that a good reputation takes years to build and minutes to lose.
