Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3579094, member: 10325"] Friends in Florida told the timeshare people at their place in Cabo that they were walking away. They were threatened, initially, but then the place backed off and the friends ate the $25-30,000 loss and walked away. We've had two Marriott weeks (Vegas and Scottsdale) and had great trades for fifteen or more years. Then they started pushing the points system and five years ago we couldn't trade for a decent week. So we paid the basic fee (about $600) to join the points program and have been able to use the points for long stays and short stays and will probably keep them another five or ten years. Marriott will buy them back, but only at about half what we paid based on what a friend experienced selling back his Customs House week. [/QUOTE]
