Does anyone think Marriott would ever combine Marriott Vacation Club with the Vistana timeshare program? They did it with Marriott and Ritz Carlton destination clubs. They are linking Marriott Rewards with the SPG points program. So I wonder if they might combine the StarOptions program with Marriott DC Points program?

The Starwood time system is owned by Interval International. If Marriott acquired IL, then some type of integration is possible. However I think it would be most like Worldmark and wyndham where the access to the sister system is expensive (and limited).

I do not think we would ever see a fully integrated, single timeshare system.

Best,

Greg
