I've been offered 3,100 Destination points for my Platinum New Year week at Village d'Ile de France. I can see the benefits, and think it will be worthwhile.
I've also been offered a week at Playa Andaluza for £9,362 (approx. $13,600). This will mean I do not have to pay the enrolment fee ($2,395 plus a further 20% VAT). I plan to use this to add a further 1,950 destination points each year. Maintenance fees for this year are 1015 Euro (approx. $1,100).
I'd welcome advice on the following:
1. Am I getting value for money? How's this compare to other people's experience.
2. If I am not able to use all my 5,050 points, can I just book some nights at a Marriott and give them to a family member?
3. Is there an active market in people buying and selling points?
I'd appreciate any assistance.
