Can someone with the correct knowledge please post the "Points Assigned" charge in this thread?

I can't seem to access it (I expect due to the busy activity with people getting into it).

Thanks.

We should add another interesting data point:

Maintenance fee per Point assigned: $774/1850 = 42 cents/point

How is points to reserve determined? Is the the minimum number of points for the season you own, the maximum, or what?

I think it would be good to see the max amount, the min amount, and then the average. If someone is real intuitive, they could do this for all the resorts and then people only need to post their worth. I could be that intuitive if I had the time.

Apparently, Marriott is a lot like the old bosses in Vegas. They just figure people are to stupid to do the math. It's nice little profit Marriott's taking off of my hands for the privledge of joining their worst-deal-in-timeshare points program. :mad:

No fair...my Oceanside also gets 3075 points. I'm curious as to what Oceanfront and Gardenview get. Looking at the points chart, OV and OS 'cost' the same...I want the premium I paid for my OS back Marriott :hysterical: .

The more I read, the more I'm convinced I'm getting the shaft.

OV GOld to convert 2625 pts
- to reserve a week (in same season 2900 pts) except as below:
- four week window in September for 2000 pts.

I guess it would be good to convert if we wouldn't mind going in Sept.
Since this resort is mostly undersold, majority of owners will be points owners going forward, thus no availability issues.

hmmm:confused:

It's not a skim

Looks like early returns reflect that Marriott is skimming 7% on the points values.
Click to expand...

There is no "skim". The value given to each owner each use period reflects the total number of points in the season they own - which has some weeks worth more in absolute terms than others but all are in that season - divided by the total number of weeks and the resulting average value is what you get as an owner. No skim.

Lets do it very simply.

There are 4 Golden weeks. There are 100 total owners. But one is a holiday week. So 3 of the weeks cost 500 points to reserve but the one holiday week costs 700. The total available points to all owners of that season is 220,000. But no one "owns" the super value week - all owners can try to get it - so the value each owner gets is 550. No skim. No one gets the value of the super week on total and no one gets only the lower value. They all get their fair share to use as they please.

If there were deeded use weeks then each of the 3 should get 500 points and the owners of the 4, super week, would get 700. But they all have a right to it & all get the value. Get it?

I get it...I'm not even getting like for like. The trade up ride in II was great while it lasted and I'm not screaming about entitlement. However, when I bought I bought with the understanding that my week would get me a week in the same season at any of the other Marriott resorts. I am being cheated out of theat 'promise.'
