[2015] History of Marriott DC Point Price increases

[DRH90277]

Unanswered questions list:

1. Has anyone ever paid the full "rack rate" for points?

2. If it takes 4,700 VCP's for a great week at Newport Coast villa's, will people pay $77,080 for enough points to make that reservation? Or, will they buy a Newport Coast resale week for $10,000?

3.

1. I think they discount 10% at 2000 points, 15% at 3000 points and 20% at 4000 points.

2. Discounted it would be closer to $62K, and I’m sure many are paying that.

$16.96 rack rate as of today.

Presumably going to $17.40 on Oct 1 per sales peep.

It’s been $16.96 for a while now, at least since early August. Highly doubtful they will jump to $17.40 so soon given sluggish sales.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see them increase the price, even though sales are sluggish. They’ll just offer bigger discounts to make it look better
