Which Marriott timeshare offers best points for your purchase?

You can buy 50,000 Marriott points every year for $625. So can your spouse. Without paying $13,900 upfront. Without committing to doing it every year. And without worrying whether HOA costs will increase (which they will).

Is that a good deal? It is for Marriott.

My husband is on my Marriott Rewards Visa. I bought the 50K points but how can he if the card number is the same??
 
You don't need a Marriott Rewards VISA to purchase the 50,000 points. Even if you do use your MR VISA, you'll only receive 1 point per dollar, not the 5 you would normally receive for the Marriott premier VISA.

But if your husband has a MR account (separate number from yours) he can purchase the points for his account using any CC. He can do this online or over the phone.

How do you combine the points for a trip? If he has 50K, and I have 50K, how do they get into one bucket for 100K? Thanks

At the time you are purchasing a travel package you can transfer the points from one account into the other.
