Marriott Trust Points
Westin Lagunamar
Sheraton Desert Oasis Red Season
Hello,
I’m a second generation timeshare owner. I took over my dads Marriott and Starwood timeshares. His Marriott ones are a Vegas 2 bedroom high season and 2,000 trust points. They came with all the perks you get from buying from Marriott. We just use the point system every year. My Starwood ones are resale weeks he picked up years ago, they are the Westin Lagunamar and the Sheraton in Scottsdale. I normally either use them in Cancun, or put them in II.
I recently came back from the Westin Kierland and went on an update which I never do but was intrigued with the merger. I was offered a silver 2 bedroom in Kierland for like 16-17k to bring in my Starwood weeks, get them enrolled in the StarOptions system and get them “abound points”.
I was extremely intrigued but didn’t bite because I don’t want to own a summer week in the desert. The initial price tag did not bother me, I just don’t want a 1500+ MF for such little club points and StarOptions. Also my wife hated the saleswoman, and wanted to get to the pool.
Is there another way to buy in ? Can I buy trust points ? Also do I need to do it in person ?? I hate going to these things.
Thanks
Tim
