OK...I should have been more specific. My point values total more than 10,000 points. We own three platinum weeks. A 3 bedroom lock-off in Grande Vista. Canyon Villas in Phoenix is a two-bedroom lock-off. Lakeshore Reserve is a two bedoom premium lock-off. The Grande Vista and Canyon Villas have always traded well. (LR is new) That's why we purchased those weeks.

My only point is that they sold them to us based on trading power and that has been true up to this point. However, with the point values they are giving, it would take two complete (not locked-off) weeks to get one President's Week at a warm location. That certainly does not match what we purchased!

I think it is telling when a Marriott rep says they don't expect existing owners to participate. They know they are low-balling these points.

I didn't mean to sound presumptuous in telling people what to do. Of course everyone should make their own decision. I am merely stating that people should get the facts and think this through. Look at what points they are giving you and how many points you will need to trade into another Marriott resort. If you have traded well through Interval, then the only way you will continue to do so is if inventory from existing owners continues to go in. No new inventory is going to come in because Marriott is now only selling points. It really does change what we bought in a negative way.
