I curently own a Starwood and HGVC timeshare and I am looking at getting a Marriott timeshare. First, I am not interested in the points program and I will be buying resale. My primary purpose is for Marriott priority in II for more flexible exchanges since I like to pre plan as much as possible. Looking at either a 1BR or a 2BR L/O.
My questions.
1. Which of the Marriott resorts have the lowest MF's?
2. How often does Marriott exercise ROFR?
3. Is there a big difference in trading power between Platinum, Platinum Plus and Gold?
4. Is there a big difference between Platinum Resort A and Platinum Resort B in trading power?
5. Give it too me straight - What would you buy and why???
Mainly looking at trading via II into Marriott's in Hawaii, possibly Spain, Phuket (eventually) and in time I may sell my HGVC points if Marriott serves me well. I an very happy with Starwood and what it gives in II preference, I would love to get in with Marriott and get the same preference with even more resorts.
Everyone's input is appreciated.
