Doug's post about the trading deficit of the DC points got me going again on this subject.
I know there are some great benefits to the DC points system, and many of you have signed on. The system can be leveraged for great short stays, and savings of fees. That is fantastic.
However Doug has proven a real deficit in trading value.
I also wanted to ask the people that have thus far signed on to the DC system a really serious question?
All things being equal, and not much movement on Marriott's part to accommodate the resale of DC points. What do you plan on doing with your points if say you need to sell them next year, 5 years, 20 years. I know this is not the first thing on your mind now. Please don't tell me that you will worry about it later. Put yourself in the scenario now as if you had to sell your points. How would you reconcile this. I mean seriously, there is a viable resale market now. But as far as I can tell there is no market whatsoever for resale points?
Please correct me if I am wrong because I would love to learn about this?
