If you go out to the Marriott web site and then click on "The Rewards" and then click on "Travel Packages" you will see a chart which lays out for you the various combinations of Reward package deals you can get with points. THe # of points required to take a trip depends upon how many airline miles you need to have per person traveling to get to your desired destination and what category of hotel you want. Most of the large city hotels are level 5 and above. I have three Marriott timeshares (Williamsburg, Barony Beach and Grand Ocean) and I get anywhere from 110,000-125,000 points per unit if I choose to trade the use of my units for Marriott points in any calender year. Please note that you can only use the trade for points option every other year and the maintenance fees at my resorts run approximately 625.00 each
