hi, we’re at our presentation and for 2000 points it would be $21k and we’ll get the bonus 2000, another bonus 2000 and a bonus 1 bd platinum week anywhere. Is this a decent deal? And does Marriott always offer buy back? That’s what they’re saying.

I didn’t believe that MVC directly offers buy back at all for Points.
They offer limited buy back for Weeks and they will sometimes ROFR for Points when typically a private buyer may have offered up to $4-5 per Point and they will choose to grab it.
I did see that, although I was not totally clear whether that just after MVC invoking ROFRSomeone just reported recently that MVC offered to buy back their points at something like $2-$3/point.
To put this in perspective, on eBay a seller is offering 7,000 Marriott Points for about $2,000 with $21,000 in Marriott junk fees, total about $23,000 for 7,000 points.

Don't buy, learn the system and make a much better choice in the future. If this is your best option (doubtful) you can always buy later.hi, we’re at our presentation and for 2000 points it would be $21k and we’ll get the bonus 2000, another bonus 2000 and a bonus 1 bd platinum week anywhere.

Are there any downsides to doing it via resale?Our first purchase was 2500 points at retail. The cost was over $25,000. That was before we found TUG.
Our next purchase, also from MVC, was a hybrid of 3000 points and a a. Desert Springs week. I think it made 6000 points for about $8 per point.
We just finished doing a deal for 1500 points to bring us to Presidential level. It was $9349 including the MVC junk fees. At this moment, they seem to be passing on their ROFR on points, at least for reasonable offers.
We like our MVC points, because owning them gives us discipline to schedule vacations. I wish we had discovered the resale market sooner, though.

For a pure points purchase, none.Are there any downsides to doing it via resale?
