As posted in another thread - I did the tour presentation. Below is the email I got before I went. What I ended up was different, 25 destination points and 300 plus points. Marriott keeps arguing they are the same, I say no. Why then do they differentiate between the two in what they gave me? (25 destination points and 300 plus points?)

My understanding is plus points are only good for reservations within 60 days of check-in.. No?

Below is the original email I got with the offer ( I made them give offer in email before I would go)..

When I first enrolled in the program when it started I received 800 PlusPoints as well. There was no 60 day restriction for me. They worked just as any other point and they expired a year from issue. The only difference from "regular" points is that they couldn't be banked or transferred. However, if you already have a use for the points, book them and be done with it.

When we first enrolled back in June 2012, we too received 800 PlusPoints.
These had to be used by June 2013, which we did.
