I can't see this going anywhere either.
They even refer to legacy owners not being able to exchange their units like they used to. While it has been discussed here whether the DC program has affected our ability to trade, there have been many trades completed, either into other Marriott's or non-Marriott's.

That is true, however, if they had a recording of a sales presentation where they were told, as many have before, that they need to have points to fully utilize he program, that would be an issue for Marriott.
On our one and only presentation, the sales guy started down that path, and when he essentially said "what you used to do through interval, you can't do anymore unless you supercharge with trust points", I responded that well, if that were true, why would I trust MVC to not screw me in the future to make me buy something else?
As someone who has trained professional sales people, I always stress the importance of not getting into a box that you can't get out of. I actually use that example in my training. He brought the box and tape, I just closed it for him....
We did enroll our existing weeks, and have one external bought after the cut off, and really do like the flexibility. However, I have no interest in buying more points from them.
