We are currently at Marriott Summitt Watch and went to a presentation mainly to get the gift, but now we are considering the points program. We are deeded week owners at Monarch that we bought resale through Marriott Hilton Head for a great price 18 years ago. It has always traded well with II. The offer is this-
We would be buying a deeded forclosure week at Marriott Surf Watch silver week for $3500 which would enroll our Marriott Monarch as well into the points program. The Marriott Surf Watch has 1925 points, the Monarch has 1900 points for a total of 3825 and we purchase 2000 points every year for a total of 5825 points. We would get a bonus of 2000 points for 2 years. So, 7,825 points for 2 years, and 5825 points after that. It will cost us $28,100 plus closing cost. We would charge the timeshare to the Marriott Rewards credit card and get 150,000 MR points, and then pay it off. So, we are buying the 3925 points for $7.16 a point. Do you think this a good deal? Would you do it? Buying the points and the timeshare is a package deal.
