"Justifing the changes"
Having just read the Marriott Concierge posting today about the usage % for stays using points. While this may cover more users --it does NOT seem like a good decision. What Marriott has done in readjusting the points along with NO ADJUSTMENT TO MCVI TIME-SHARES is re-balance the New Schedule on the backs of it's BEST CUSTOMERS. That is why all the complaints about the 7-Night Travel Package and Time-share points. It is clearly a SOAK the best customers! If as the Marriott Concierge says they are reading these posts --it is a real surprise that with the LEVEL of OUTRAGE that something is not done.
The people moving to other programs, canceling Marriott credit Cards, telling all their friends, seeking out potential Time-share purchasers to NOT BUY is not something that was contemplated when these changes were thought-up. Fine--now that the facts are out--MAKE THE CHANGES !
