Hi, I'm a Marriott owner and I am somewhat embaressed that I know so little of the program. I need help with info please.
I have two deeded weeks (worth about 4000 points if converted) and the Marriott folks have been calling us over the last month to upgrade us to the Premier or Executive level by buying about 3000 Trust points! The cost would be about $12.48 per point to total $37,440 plus various closing costs and annual MF and taxes. Their claim is that this purchase would elevate us to Executive level and make our vacationing more dream-like! To me, that's a lot of money to treat ourselves!
My basic question is: Can I buy the same 3000 points on the re-sale market? If so, where is the best place to do so? Also, will Marriott be imposing any major obstacles in allowing us to qualify for the Executive level with points that we didn't buy directly from Marriott - like heavy monetary penalties to convert the re-sale points to our deeded weeks account?
Any info that you folks could provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jay
Also, where do i find out what the many abbreviations here on this forum mean - like EOY & DP and ?
