I have a friend who owns a couple Inn-Season Resort timeshares. We've been on vacations with them to Inn Season and they've been with us to Marriott's a few times and want to get into the system. I recommended buying points resale and renting the additional points he needs. He has been communicating with an owner who is selling 1000 points. He is happy with the price and had asked me what I think. I've explained there are a lot of junk fees, rofr, MFs, but it is a good price and I think a good plan to rent points as needed.
Questions
1 I remember reading a few years ago that a tugger with no legacy points bought 1000 points resale and did not have full privileges because there is a 1500 point minimum for full privileges, or something to that effect. Did we ever determine if this is true?
2 If not, I understand there is a 1 time education fee and a 200.00 or 300.00/BI re-enrollment fee (or whatever label they put on it). I think there is a 2000.00 or 3000.00 minimum on that, but don't have all the details memorized. What would the junk fees be on a 1000 point purchase on top of closing and transfer?
3 Do we know if Marriott has exercised ROFR on resale points?
Thanks for your help.
