So as I am learning more and more about both Marriott and Hilton's programs, I have more and more questions... This forum is such a great resource. Thank you members for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Anyway, I have learned that that MVC's point system is not available to those who buy "legacy" Marriott weeks through resale channels. I have also learned that buying MVC points thru resale is subject to paying Marriott that $3/pp junk fee. So buying 3000-4000 MVC points can cost $25k+ it seems by the time you add it all up.
But since resales of legacy Marriott weeks seems so much less expensive than buying MVC points, is it possible to buy, for example, a 2BR/2BA at Marriott Grand Vista and then use that to book 2BR/2BA at other MVC properties? Since there would be no points, would you do it through II? Just trying to wrap my head around how best to use a Marriott "legacy" week if we were to go that way.
Edit: since I am not a TS owner yet, I just have no idea how the "exchange" works in II or RCI.
Edit #2: this probably seems like a dumb or obvious question - sorry! I just want to make sure I understand.
Thanks in advance!
