Is the New point System Devaluing Resorts

[TJCNewYork]

A New Value Proposition

Plans to spin-off MVCI into a separate company are long overdue, IMHO. I'm counting on spinco's success and expect a new value proposition for retaining my vacation ownership w/Marriott. Although it may be the minority view for the moment, I agree with hotcoffee 100%:

I agree with your basic premise. Those wishing for the DC program to go down in flames are by extention wishing for the new spin-off company to fail. That would not be a good thing for any of us. While I am not at all optimistic that the economy will ever return to what it was in the past, I do hope that the Marriott spin-off flourishes. I am also hoping for some customer-oriented changes down the road that will:

1. improve resale values by enabling future resales a way to get into the DC program and by providing an acceptable resale option for points,
2. provide a better enrollment incentive to encourage a higher percentage of enrollments,
3. provide cheaper DC exchange options so as to encourage more people to buy points outright,
4. provide more places to exchange into in more locations.

Someone please correct me if Im wrong but Im pretty sure the Surf Club isnt sold out. The Ocean Club has been for sometime but since preview packages are still available for the Surf, and tours are still being offered I dont think they are anywhere near sold out .

You are correct. Surf Club is not sold out!
