Re: Ripoff - Marriott Vacation Club Destinations Program - New Point System

The average US inflation rate past 10 years is under 2.5%. Marriott Maintenance fees average over 5%. Maybe mismanagement of reserving too much for the class action lawsuits against them? Also add in Aruba "utility" fees which went from "0" to over $10.00 per day. If I could not use my vacation points one year I should be able to pay the maintenance fees by unused vacation points. Why should I pay maintenance on unused vacations where I do not touch a room for anything?
