I've never seen in point of actual fact that Marriott bought back anything and I've talked with thousands of current/former owners on other sites. If you say they did, you'd be the first I've ever heard of in 25 years.
Marriott doesnt make money for its clients--Marriott makes money for its executives and shareholders. Marriott does not make money for the benefit of timeshare owners.
On the resale side, I saw two extensions for the deadline. One was in 2013 and one was in 2016. Few resale buyers are lucky enough to get offered to enroll wit a points purchase--typically only after a number of hard sells dont work to get you to open your checkbook and then only at certain times, under certain conditions, with certain stipulations that ensure you still pay a premium.
If you bought resales, I'm sure you are very happy with your purchases, who wouldnt be when they end up with 20K points and Chairman's club status. But then you said also you haven't gone down that route? So you do or dont have points and Chairmans club status?
If you bought early at pre-construction rates, I imagine you are also happy. Not everyone did though. Some just plunked down the current cost for a Hawaii week in points ($120,000 and didn't know they were overpaying 400% compared to actual value).
