I have very recently purchased 2 resale weeks from Marriott for the specific purpose of trading them for Marriott Rewards Points yearly (110,000 ea).
I am surprised that this makes sense, everytime I look at timeshare it seems the yearly fees & upfront cost outweigh the value for me, unless perhaps you plan to return to the same spot year after year?
