[2015] History of Marriott DC Point Price increases

[ljmiii]

Just saw that people are reporting that the current rack price is $14.10. Anyone know what date this was implemented so Fasttr can keep his list updated?

Sorry...I can only confirm that as of 2/22/20 it was still $14.10.

Hi all, I just did a virtual sales presentation. I was looking for 4k points and quoted 14.72per DC with promotion of 10.3pp and 10,000 plus points. I hope this is helpful.

 

[CULox99]

DC Points promo right now is 2.5 bonus points with purchase at the $10.30 rate as mentioned by SkyBornDancer. Last month they had a promo for a few days with 3x Bonus Points, but they are saying that is not available now. Just an FYI if trying to negotiate on any DC Points purchases.

 

[JIMinNC]

NEW 01/08/21 $14.72 (promotion for 4000points @ 10.30)

Some additional information to the above...we were quoted the same $14.72 in mid-November. For 3000 points, the discount is 25% to $11.04 instead of the 30% discount for 4000 points that yields the $10.30 noted above.

 

[Kfp13]

what are they saying you need to purchase to enroll a week that was purchased via re-sale? We already have an enrolled week and a bunch of points but have been curious to see what the latest cost is to enroll an existing week in DC points?

The general promo has been 3000 points to enroll one week (or two every other year weeks). I think it was 4000 or 4500 for two weeks.

Irrespective of whether you have already enrolled a week or have purchased DC-Points in the past, Marriott always requires the purchase of additional DCP-Points to enroll a resale week.
The amount of DCP-Points you would have to purchase depends on what you have to enroll. Usually about 3000-DCP for a 2BR-EY week.

If a currently owned week was purchased prior to June 2010, you can enroll that online. Unfortunately I don't know the cost. Last reports were ~$2395, though many have been able to enroll for free for attending a webinar or presentation without purchase. If a week was purchased resale after June 2010, the only way to enroll it is with an additional point purchase direct from Marriott.

Wait ....DCP-Points vs DC Points?? What is the difference?
Trying to educate myself since I am looking at a resale week. I’m assuming you are saying that to enroll a fixed week you have to buy points directly from Marriott tied to the fixed week and minimum they sell you is 3K point which will cost you $30 to $35K on top of what you paid for week.

I suspect the P in DCP is just short for "Points". Though that would have made the "Points" in "DCP-Points" redundant. There is no difference here, just terminology being used.

They are often referred to as DC or DP points.
When we first enrolled our weeks, they were referred to as DC points, so I guess that is what we will always call them but I do recognise the different terminology interchangeably.

I also remember albeit vaguely the use of "Program".

Do we know what the price is if you buy like 4000 points? Prior to April 1 it was $10.30...

Buy them resale and it will cost you about $2.50 plus a $3.00 junk fee. In essence you'd be paying $5.50 per point, or a total of $22,000 on the resale market.

Of course you can buy them from Marriott but it would cost you at least $41,200 @ $10.30 per point, but it will likely cost you more than $10.30 per point.

I understand what you are saying but there is a method to my madness. I am trying to grandfather in some weeks so they can be enrolled. I was told it went up from $10.30 but I haven't been able to hear what it went up to as of April 1...

$10.30 is a 30% discount. So I would assume new price to you for 4K points would be $10.44

MVC reduced the max discount from 30% to 25% for 4,000 points and greater at the new price

MVC reduced the max discount from 30% to 25% for 4,000 points and greater at the new price

That would be $11.18

If you're trying to enroll 2 week you might want to look at buying a good week for Aruba or St. Kitts to enroll instead. It might be cheaper up front and should be cheaper for maintenance fees.

Thank you - the Points FAQ has been updated.

On my virtual pitch this morning, they quoted $14.94 as the new rack rate, not $14.91. Just pointing out the discrepancy as who knows which rep was correct.

Shame on you! In the interests of having accurate numbers, you could have purchased then we'd know for sure the correct number.
