Otherwise, with points, it will take up to two years' worth of what we own to be able to trade into other Marriott resorts for a week! That's so crazy that the Marriott Advisor told me this morning that "Marriott doesn't expect existing owners to want to opt into this new system!"
I urge all existing owners to look long and hard at the specifics of this program. Then you, too, will see that our only option is to NOT go with the ridiculously low points they are giving us for our weeks!
Great weeks are in the eye of the beholder. Great weeks which are defined by receiving lots of points when enrolled in the Destination Club may do better by participating in the DC.
Great weeks defined as low cost off season (silver or bronze) weeks that have traded into Waiohai or Crystal Shores should not enroll. However, they should expect fewer of the up-trades because the owners of the prime resorts can gain by enrolling their weeks.
It is important for every owner to look at the specifics because there are two options- join and not join - and no one can say for anyone else what his best option is. Of course, each of us would like everyone else to make the choice that is most beneficial to me.
