I own a number of timeshare fixed weeks and points (no Marriotts yet). I have always purchased resale, so I am a bit biased against developer purchases. This will be my first Marriott purchase, and I have been reading the threads concerning retail vs. resale.
My question is can anyone give examples of the number of included MR points I could expect from a retail purchase at various resorts. Details from actual recent sales would be great. I know that every deal can be different based on the buyer's negotiating skills. I would prefer a resort in the SE United States that is within driving distance. I know at one time they were including 1,000,000 points at one of the Orlando resorts.
I am considering either a resale or a retail purchase in SC or VA (possibly FL). I would prefer a platinum week.
I don't really need opinions on whether it's better to buy retail or resale. I just need the facts so that I can form my own opinion.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.
