There is an HPP points chart on the website. Go to "Vacation Planning Tools" then to "Member Resources." If you scroll down, you'll see it.

By the way, I'm not able to see ANY HPP inventory when searching all resorts. Is there something that I'm doing incorrectly or isn't there any HPP inventory available?

I have seen some in the past, I just ran a normal search and was given both HRC and HPP units to choose from.

So you are probably not doing anything wrong.

However I will mention that the last few searches I've done, I have not seen any HPP inventory available. The search engine is glitchy though. I have noticed that when I include more than 1 property in a search, I see less available units than if I search one property at a time.

Thanks for the tip on the HPP points chart.

This is really interesting. I am brand loyal to Marriott hotels, but went with Hyatt for timeshare because I wanted access to Key West. Given its taken several years to see how the Starwood/Marriott merge ended up (the last phase was only a few weeks ago), I expect it will be while before we really know how this all goes down. I guess I'm going to say I'm cautiously optimistic, possibly influenced by how I feel about Marriott in general and through seeing the Starwood merger.

It's interesting that both Marriott and Hyatt sold off their timeshare groups and now Marriott is getting them back in the ILG holdings. I wonder what Marriott saw in ILG that was of value even though they would have to take back the timeshares. This could be something to watch with time and see if Marriott spins them off again.

Hmmm, what would it be like to be owned by Motel 6, Inc.?:ponder:

Marriott did not sell off the Marriott timeshare group but merely split it off as a separate company. It is different from Hyatt and Vistana which indeed were sold/merged with ILG.

Also, the Marriott that spun off the Marriott timeshare division is not the same Marriott that is getting them back. The Marriott division that was spunoff is now acquiring ILG. Nothing at all to do with Marriott International that runs the hotels.

There was a thread about what a Marriott salesman was telling a TUGger during a sales presentation a few days ago.

How can these big corporations let their sales department get away with starting rumors at their sales presentations or even outright lie just to make a sale that day? An ethical company would stop this behavior immediately.

I do wonder what will become of the HRC because they had a good program that most people seemed to like but they had to go on the points wagon too just to keep up with the rest of the industry.

Actually, according to the manual for timeshare huckstering, the sales people are doing a good job. Chapter 1 deals with "how does the customer like to vacation!" Chapter 2 is "saving big money on your vacations". Chapter 3 is "how to lie and cheat (because the customer doesn't know the truth)". Chapter 4 is "have I got a deal for you today".

Do you have a link to the thread. I will report on my Marriott presentation when we return from Maui but am curious to compare.
