I believe that Marriott will allow it on a few occasions when you are short or over points yourself but that they will stop it immediately when owners are doing it on a regular basis because you are competition to their sales department.

PS. Can a person, who isn't enrolled, rent points too or not?

Marriott does state that you can transfer points between accounts -- and unless they take that away, it's a perfect vehicle to facilitate the rental of points. That is the big question -- if they will take it away someday if they feel it impacts their ability to sell points???

And no, if someone isn't enrolled, they can't rent points because the rented points can't be transferred to them.

Lots to still learn about this system!


I dont' know what you mean that the TUG Marketplace isn't setup for Marriott MVCD point rentals

Thank you -- this may one day work if they add Marriott as a points system (so you can search for Marriott listings) but right now, they only have other points systems (Worldmark, Marriott Asia Pacific, RCI, etc.) and I can't seem to find Marriott. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the way it works on WMOwners, which is very very easy.....

Thanks again!

The corollary question is -- will their ability to sell points be affected IF they take that away.

Greg, great job with the auction! I hope you don't mind but I'm going to steal you description (I couldn't do it better) and give it a try. Let's see what happens.

anything new for renting points? Does marriott rent any points?

I'm tempted to join but calculated I would need about 500 additional points to get the week I want [a 3 bedroom]
Don't want to borrow points from next year as i see this as starting a continuous shortfall

Pharmgirl,

There have been other isolated transactions in addition to mine. RichBrowne1 had success renting his 2011 points in multiple smaller blocks at $0.55 per point.

We've still not found an easy place to post what's available for rent -- WMOwners has a wonderful subforum (for Worldmark point rentals) where it is easy to see the supply and demand, I expect a similar one will develop somewhere on the internet.

So, no high profile other activity has developed yet that I am aware of, but I continue to believe that points rentals will become more common, as they are with Worldmark. I don't know how long it will take, by the time I bought Worldmark in 2005, it was a mature system and there were many owners with excess points.

Good luck to you!

Greg

If one was interested in purchasing additional Marriott Vacation Points from another owner for the 2012 year what would be the best place? I've done many searches on Google, EBay & forums and can't seem to find anything other than discussions about the rental/trade system. Any help in directing me a market place would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to TUG! I'll send you a PM to try to assist, but a robust point rental market will take time to develop. I hope you are able to find the points you need from one of the websites I send to you!

Best,

Greg

Thanks for the welcome! Still fairly new at the timeshare, my wife and I purchased a Marriott week in St. Thomas in 2009 and just enrolled in the VCP program.

Haha... after making a post and replying I realized you had listed one of the sites I had found.

the rental value is greater if you make a reservation first.

if you do the 5 day stay sun-thurs you can get a lot out of 1500pts
