Barony Beach Club
I went to a presentation at Barony for the express purpose of seeing what they were telling people, and to ask about Points Resales.
I have to say the lady doing the presentation did an excellent job (of her job which is to lay out a positive story about the program). If I were her boss, sitting in the room listening to her, I would have given her a good performance appraisal.
One point she made that upset a couple of people in the room was that Destination Points you bought had access to a larger pool of inventory (like units Marriott would otherwise rent) than points from putting your week into the system. That didnt sit well with folks who had joined the Destination Club but had not bought extra points, and to whom "a point is a point"!
At the end, I said I heard that Marriott was going to do something about supporting the resale of Destination Points, and asked what was happening. She said they were "working on that".
I didnt really learn much :=(
