Marriott to Marriott II Exchange fee increase effective 12/1/15

Just curious...but why would the Chairman's Club be $25.00 more than other categories.

Chairman's Club can bank for an extra six months and trust owners at that level can convert an extra 10% of their DC points to MR points. That stuff costs money...

Obviously those things probably don't cost more money to facilitate except for the technology changes to allow it. Though they were already makeing technology changes to allow for Presidential to bank for 1.5 years.

In the end, Marriott seems to look at it as a tax and they figure that those with more points have deeper pockets and thus they can charge them more. If you really look at it from a usage standpoint, the lower level owners, Owner and Select, probably have a higher cost since they are more likely trading in II more where Marriott probably has to pay out on a per transaction basis. So in all reality, Marriott should have flipped the DC Annual Enrollment fees. Those at the bottom pay the $250 and those at the top pay the $185. Now of course, being a Select Owner, I am not going to complain

Yup, exchanges are still free for Marriott to Marriott trades in the DC corporate account.
